1The general line of socialist construction, the Great Leap Forward and the People's Commune put forward by the Central Committee in the middle of 1958 1960 were called "three magic weapons" before May, and were renamed "three red flags" after May. The appearance of "three red flags" is the exploration of socialist construction by the real production party led by Chairman Mao.
Around 1958, it was a very unusual period in the history of China * * * production party and People's Republic of China (PRC). With Mao Zedong as the representative, the producers of "China * * *" have a sense of hardship that they will be beaten if they fall behind, a sense of crisis that they will be expelled from football, and a strong desire to change the backward appearance of our country as soon as possible. Heaven and earth turn, and time waits for no one. The heroic spirit of "10,000 years is too long to seize the day" led the whole party and the people of the whole country to do several major events that shocked the world: they formulated the "general line" for building socialism, launched the "Great Leap Forward" movement under its guidance, and launched the "People's Commune" movement throughout the country. At that time, the vast land of the motherland was full of spectacular scenes of "taking the lead, Ma Benteng making great efforts to make progress with each passing day, surpassing Britain and catching up with the United States". The general line, the Great Leap Forward and the people's commune were customarily called "three red flags" at that time. The CPC Central Committee and President Mao Zedong tried to shift the focus of their work to economic construction through the "three red flags", so as to speed up the country's economic construction and squeeze into the ranks of advanced countries in the world as soon as possible. This desire and determination is good, no doubt. However, due to some defects in decision-making and huge deviation in actual implementation, coupled with three years of serious natural disasters, the expected results have not been achieved. On the contrary, economic life in all parts of the country has experienced serious difficulties, all kinds of construction are unsustainable, and the national economy is almost on the verge of collapse. Half a century has passed since the "three red flags". Looking back, this is a completely blind and rash question. The general line is the blind progress of the general guiding ideology of economic construction; The Great Leap Forward is a blind rush to develop productive forces; People's commune is a blind rash advance reflected in the changes of production relations and social system. It will be 50 years in a flash. But for those who have experienced those years in full swing, every memory is unforgettable, and there will always be a lot of feelings and thoughts.
