  6. Brave the wind and the waves, everything has remarkable abilities, 1958 As a result of the successful economic reconstruction that had taken place in the early 1950s under the First Five Year Plan, the Party leadership headed by Mao Zedong considered the conditions ripe for a Great Leap Forward in early 1958. The Great Leap was not merely a bold economic project. It was also intended to show the Soviet Union that the Chinese approach to economic development was more vibrant, and ultimately would be more successful, than the Soviet model.

  7. THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD The Great Leap Forward was an economic and social development movement launched by the government of Mao Zedong 1958. Mao and his supporters were dissatisfied with the existing Soviet model of industrialization (switching from a society based on agriculture to a society based on the mass production of goods in factories). The Chinese Communists believed the Soviet approach had created a widening gap between class divisions. To avoid similar problems, the Great Leap Forward focused on the industrialization and collectivization of China's countryside.

  8. THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD The Great Leap Forward radically changed China's agricultural production. Traditionally, farming families had lived in small villages and owned the land on which they lived. During the Great Leap Forward, the government collectivized China's agriculture (they organized the peasants into groups who owned and farmed land together). All property, including land, tools, animals, and workshops, were shared. In the early stages of collectivization, family farms joined together into small collectives. Later, the collectives further expanded into communes made up of thousands of households. The government told the communes what crops to grow. It also set production quotas—that is, it established specific amounts of the goods to be produced.
