During the democratic revolution, the Communist Party of China put forward a thorough program of agrarian revolution and led the land reform in the liberated areas. Before the founding of New China, the old liberated areas such as Northeast China and North China, which accounted for about one third of the country's area, had basically completed the land reform and eliminated the feudal exploitation system.
1947 from July to September, China * * * Production Party held a national land conference in Xibaipo Village, Pingshan County, Hebei Province. The meeting, presided over by Mao Zedong, summed up the experience of land reform since the May 4th Movement, formulated and adopted the Outline of China Land Law, which thoroughly implemented land reform, and passed it on June +65438 10 +00, 5438.
It stipulates: "abolish the feudal and semi-feudal land system and implement the land system of land to the tiller"; "Rural farmers' associations receive the livestock, farm tools, houses, grain and other properties of landlords, and collect the surplus from the rich peasants".
"All land and public land in the village will be taken over by the rural farmers' association, and all other land in the village will be equally distributed according to the total population of the village, regardless of gender, age and age".
In addition, specific provisions have been made on some special problems in the handling and distribution of some special land property, the executive organs of land reform and the protection of industry and commerce. Under the guidance of this outline, the land reform movement rose rapidly in the vast rural areas of the liberated areas.

The land reform movement greatly inspired the enthusiasm of hundreds of millions of peasants to join the army and participate in the war. At the same time of carrying out the land reform movement, the production party organizations at all levels in China carried out effective war mobilization, organically combining defending the victory of land reform with overthrowing Chiang Kai-shek, thus making joining the army and supporting the front line become the conscious actions of farmers in the liberated areas.
In August, September and October of 1946 alone, 300,000 peasants in Jiefangquan District joined the People's Liberation Army. In order to support the front line, the peasants who turned over enthusiastically paid public grain, participated in the war and devoted themselves to the people's liberation war in various ways. They use very primitive means of transportation-ox carts, donkeys, shoulder poles and back frames, and even their hands and shoulders to ensure a huge supply of war.
