英文摘要 |
The western region of Fujian Province (Minxi) is a mountainous area that was the homeland of many Hakka and also a longstanding revolutionary stronghold. Having experienced much destruction through revolution and warfare, the Minxi region was recaptured by the Chinese Communists (CCP) in 1949. Like other regions of rural China in the early years of the People's Republic of China, the Minxi region also experienced continuous division and reorganization due to a succession of political and revolutionary movements. Local peasants were unable to escape the state's insatiable demand for grain and consequent calamity. Through a case study of the Minxi region in the early years of PRC, this article explores the implementation of socialist revolution in a rural mountainous region and analyzes the predicaments it faced. |
