When was the Great Leap Forward?

The "Great Leap Forward" movement refers to the mass movement from 1958 to 1960, characterized by the realization of high industrial and agricultural production in economic construction. This movement is a serious setback in the process of exploring the road of building socialism.

With the great victory of socialist transformation and the first five-year plan, the second session of the Eighth National Congress of communist party, China officially adopted the general line of socialist construction in May 1958, adopted the goal of overtaking Britain in May 15, adopted the goal of completing the national agricultural development outline five years ahead of schedule, and adopted slogans such as "work hard for three years and basically change the face". After the meeting, the "Great Leap Forward" movement was launched in all aspects of the country.

The Great Leap Forward disrupted the national economic order, wasted a lot of manpower and material resources, caused a serious imbalance in the proportion of the national economy, and caused great losses to the cause of socialist construction.

Starting from June 1958+0 1, the central authorities began to correct the problems in the Great Leap Forward Movement. The central government has repeatedly proposed to adjust economic indicators, "compress air" and set about solving problems in economic work.

As the Party Central Committee began to correct the "Left" errors in rural work, the "Great Leap Forward" movement also stopped. The enlarged meeting of the central work held in June preliminarily summed up the experience and lessons of the Great Leap Forward and carried out criticism and self-criticism.
