This painting depicts the
celebratory sendoff of Yan’an cadres going to promote the Dazhai commune. Dazhai
was the “model commune” used to promote communal agriculture
throughout China. As a model commune for the entire nation, cadres
from throughout China had to “learn from Dazhai.” After
1978, with the rise of Deng Xiaoping and the promotion of pragmatic
policies, the Dazhai model fell out of favor and privatization of agriculture
became official policy. |
