A truly changed china

A truly changed china

Order Description

Those who participated in land reform in the years following the 1949 Revolution had the twin goals of reforming the ownership of land (giving “land to the tiller”) and changing the fundamental nature of social relations (i.e. relations between the sexes, between the classes, between the members of the family unit). Write an essay in which you craft an argument about the nature and success of these twin revolutions. In your essay, consider the following questions: First, to what extent (and in what ways) did these twin goals complement or conflict with each other? Second, to what extent were these twin revolutions successful? For your essay, be sure to consult The Dragon’s Village. Your essay could also benefit from Red Star over China and even from The Man Awakened from Dreams, because the latter provides insights into rural society prior to 1949.
