Abstract

Tachai productive brigade, a mountain village in the midst of Taihan mountain range in Shansi province, is called the model of socialistic village reconstruction in People's China, and, since 1964, the movement of "Learn from Tachin in industry, and learn from Tachai in agriculture" was spread all over the country. Above all, in the midst of the vigorous storm of proletarian cultural revolution, Tachi's reputation enhanced more and more, and now the movement to learn Tachai is spreading to the every corner of the country. Why Tachai is regarded as such a model. Usually, Tachai has been held up as an exsample of how man, through self-reliance and determined hard work, can transform nature, and emerge from backwardness. The Tachai peasants have accomplished the seemingly impossible task of making their barrer, rocky hillsides into fertile terraces. At the same time Tachai is a model brigade who developped many high technical improvements in agriculture. But these are not so serious problem than the following. Who was the motive force for the upsurge of productive power? In Tachai, the motive forces were the jointed poor peasants and the lower middle class peasants. The leaders of Tachai, who themselves were the sons of poor peasants, jointed with them, always worked with them, discussed with them, and learned from them to accomplish their hard enterprises. Such modern "Foolish Old Men who removed the mountains" have learned that the socialistic reconstruction means the struggle between the two lines, and, in fact, they fought with the reactionaries in the communist party as well as the former land lords, or the former rich farmers during the transformation movement for nature. Through the "Three Revolutional Momvement", that is the class struggle, the prodution struggle, the scientific experiment, they won the reactionaries by learning and using the Chairman Mao's doctorine, so they were evaluated as a model of the socialistis reconstruction in agricultural front. They will be evalluated, also, because they established the key station for the proletarian dictatorship to serve the world people from unselfish, modest spirit, jointing the wisdom of every common people.
