The role of rent reduction movement in social mobilization

The role of rent reduction movement in social mobilization is as follows:

Politically, it can shake feudal rule, economically, it can weaken feudal exploitation and improve farmers' political status and living conditions. Properly adjusted the relations of production and class in the base areas, United all classes and strata, and played an extremely important role in the consolidation of the anti-Japanese national United front and the development of the anti-Japanese democratic base areas.

194 1 In April, the Party Committee of Suzhong District held an enlarged meeting of military political parties and decided to reduce the rent by 25% according to the original rent (a policy implemented by our Party during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period). Then, Haimen County Committee held an enlarged meeting of the county Committee in Fanglin Township, Haimen County, and Zhu Xidong, secretary of the county Committee, conveyed the spirit of the enlarged meeting of the Party Committee in Suzhong District.

The meeting decided to carry out the "25 th Five-Year Rent Reduction" campaign in Haiqi, which was called the first summer harvest campaign in history. After the meeting, the county expanded the pro-democracy work team. More than 100 anti-school students sent by the Fourth District Committee to help the summer harvest movement were assigned to various districts to participate in the summer harvest rent reduction struggle.

Haiqi's first large-scale struggle for rent reduction was launched by liberalizing the masses and adopting a point-to-point approach. First of all, organize a pro-democracy movement team to investigate in Wuben, Juemin and Fearless townships with relatively concentrated land and good mass base, select key points, organize breakthroughs, and drive other townships to develop in an all-round way.

194 1 At the beginning of the summer harvest, Yu Zhicheng and other tenant farmers once again went to Haimen County with the landlord Zhu Qilie to sue the anti-Japanese democratic government. Zhu Qilie and his lawyer tried to use these six laws to fight against the Democratic government's "25 th Five-Year Rent Reduction" decree, which was severely reprimanded by the tenants.

Gu eryao, secretary of the county government, arbitrated the case on behalf of the county democratic government: the deposit could not be recovered and the rent must be reduced according to the decree. Zhu Qilie pretended to promise. Actually, it's a face-to-face thing, a back-to-back thing. After he returned to China, he not only did not reduce the rent, but also increased it, spreading rumors and undermining the rent reduction. To this end, the county party Committee decided to take Zhujiacang, a fearless township, as a breakthrough to organize tenant farmers to carry out the "25 th Five-Year Rent Reduction" struggle.
