The slogan of the Great Leap Forward period is that, exaggeratedly speaking, a radish planted weighs a thousand kilograms and can't even pull two donkeys.

As one of the crux of the Great Leap Forward Movement, "exaggeration" first caused an unprecedented disaster at that time, that is, a large number of farmers starved to death.

During the Great Leap Forward, there were many things that falsely reported the output. One of the most famous is xushui county, which claims to harvest 65.438+0.2 billion Jin of grain a year. The People's Daily publicized this behavior. According to this report, the national grain collection quota seriously exceeds the actual output. It was also the main reason for the famine.

The Great Leap Forward disturbed the national economic order, wasted a lot of manpower and material resources, caused a serious imbalance in the proportion of the national economy and caused great losses to the cause of socialist construction.

Extended data

In that specific historical period, people formed a specific way of thinking and mentality.

In the years before that, many things that were considered impossible were quickly realized. I speak from my own feelings. During the War of Liberation, Mao Zedong said that we should strive for victory in three to five years. At that time, I was party member, born in the Kuomintang area. To tell the truth, there was no time to see when victory could be achieved at that time. Results 1946 civil war broke out, 1949 victory, just three years.

Then the new China was founded, and the Kuomintang left a mess of financial and economic collapse. People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded in June 5438 +654381October +0. From June 5438+1October 65438+May, prices in Shanghai and Tianjin soared, and by the end of June165438+1October, prices had tripled. At this time, Mao Zedong said, three years, five years of recovery, eight years, ten years of construction. I lived in the Kuomintang-ruled area and witnessed the collapse of the gold certificate and financial economy. There are so many financial experts in the Kuomintang who are at a loss.
