1958 After the Great Leap Forward, the people's practice of "eating for free" in public canteens caused an extreme shortage of food, and the central government took emergency measures: replacing food with fruits and vegetables and replacing staple food with non-staple food. For example, high-yield sweet potatoes, carrots and white radishes are used as staple foods instead of grain, and corn stalks are ground into powder as staple foods in some places. This practice is called "body double Guacai", also known as "Master body double", and it has become a national popular slogan since 1959. There is a jingle in Hebei: "The index is low, melons and vegetables are replaced, and they are swollen."

1 and 1957 In September, at the Third Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee, Mao Zedong thought that 1956 was "anti-aggressive" in correcting emergencies in economic work. The Third Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee adopted forty articles of the agricultural development program (revised draft), which is actually the program of the Great Leap Forward in agriculture. After the meeting, most provinces and regions in China held meetings of party cadres at all levels to convey and implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session and actively prepare for the climax of industrial and agricultural production.

2. 1958 In May, the Second Session of the Eighth CPC Central Committee formally adopted the general line of "building socialism with all efforts, striving for the upper reaches, and building socialism quickly and economically". Although the starting point of this general line is to change the backward situation of China's economy and culture as soon as possible, it is impossible to change the backward situation of China's economy and culture quickly because of ignoring the objective economic laws.

After the general line was put forward, the party launched the Great Leap Forward movement. The "Great Leap Forward" movement pursues the high-speed development of production, aiming at achieving high indicators of industrial and agricultural production. The output of major industrial and agricultural products is required to increase several times or even dozens of times. The three-year "Left" deviation from the Great Leap Forward in 1958 led to a great imbalance in the proportion of the national economy and caused serious economic difficulties.
