The Political Work Squad, a county institution in Zhejiang during World War II, was designed to enlist patriotic youth in the tasks of organizing the peasants into local governments' war efforts. However, due to the framework of the youth political movement, those political workers turned out to be incapable of cooperating with the authorities. Rather, they undermined the stability of the local regime. The youth political movement was further affected by the life practices of political workers. As such, the liberal self-imagination overwhelmed realistic political needs. The Nationalist regime eventually lost all possibilities of deploying and controlling the youth. |
