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. For example, it is proposed that the steel output ratio of 1958 be doubled from 3.35 million tons to10.7 million tons, and the ratio of 1959 to 1958 be doubled from10.7 million tons to 3000. The grain output of 1958 is 80% higher than that of 1957, from 390 billion Jin to about 700 billion Jin, and 1959 is 50% higher than that of 1958, from about 700 billion Jin to about1050 billion Jin. The Great Leap Forward movement pursued large-scale construction and put forward various slogans of "doing great things" and "doing special things" by the whole party and the whole people. For example, the whole party and the whole people make great efforts to smelt steel, run railways, run 10 thousand pig farms and run 10 thousand chickens. Under such a goal and slogan, capital construction investment has expanded rapidly. In the past three years, the total investment in capital construction reached 654.38 billion yuan, almost twice the total investment in capital construction during the first five-year plan period. The accumulation rate suddenly increased sharply, and the average annual accumulation rate for three years was as high as 39.6438+0%. Because insisting on achieving those unrealistic high goals will inevitably lead to the prevalence of blind command and exaggeration, and the lives of the broad masses have encountered serious difficulties.
