Educated youth jumping the queue in the countryside was a population migration movement in China in the last century. At that time, the population of China expanded rapidly, and the economic situation was not very good, especially the grain output was low and there were not enough urban jobs. Many students graduate = unemployed. Mao Moumou, who is always great, glorious and correct, called on the educated youth to go to the countryside and accept the re-education of poor and middle peasants. To put it bluntly, it is to farm in the countryside to solve their own food problems and ease the employment pressure in cities. More than N educated youths have taken the initiative or been taken to the countryside, which has brought great pain to countless urban families. Many educated youths died in the countryside, and countless women were raped by villains and cadres in the countryside. After Deng Gong came to power, he ended the educated youth movement to the countryside. And allow educated youth to return to the city. Later, China's unique informed literature came into being.

Today, there are still some educated youths who have not returned to the city for various reasons.

Similar population migration movements include Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and Frontier Movement.

There are many film and television literary works about the educated youth who jump the queue in rural areas, such as legend of mir, Hot Blood Dusk and so on.
