What reputation did China gain from the early 195s to the late 197s?

non-toxic country.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in p>1949, the Central People's Government launched the third anti-smoking campaign with a high sense of responsibility and careful planning, relying on effective social control, strong military force and a clean and efficient cadre team, and mobilizing various social forces. It took only three years to help millions of tobacco farmers replant crops and help 2 million smokers get rid of addiction and start a new life.

in p>1953, the government of China solemnly declared that China had become a "drug-free country". The drug problem that has harmed China for a hundred years has been swept into the dustbin of history, and the hat of "the sick man of East Asia" has been thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

Extended information:

Never forget the past: Chairman Mao founded a drug-free country for 3 years.

From February 24th, 195, when Chairman Mao personally approved the issuance of the Prohibition of Opium Smoking by the Government Affairs Bureau of the Central People's Government, to mid-December, 1952, when the Central Committee forwarded the Summary Report on the National Anti-drug Campaign by Luo Ruiqing, the public security minister, the whole anti-drug campaign took less than three years, and drugs were basically completely banned.

In one fell swoop, the cancer that has brought deep shame and pain to the Chinese nation for more than a hundred years has been cleared away, and the people have been given a clean, healthy, stable and dignified life. This is unique in the world of drug control, and it can be called a miracle on earth.

Speaking of the anti-drug movement in the Mao era, we have to mention what an unimaginable mess the new regime faced:

After the industrial revolution, Britain urgently needed to open the China market to sell its own wool, woolen cloth and other industrial products. On the other hand, China's tea, silk and porcelain are still very popular in European countries. In international trade, China has always maintained the advantage of trade surplus. Until the 192s, China's trade with Britain still maintained a position of over 23 million yuan per year.

In order to change this unfavorable situation, the British bourgeoisie began to smuggle opium in China on a large scale, which brought amazing profits to the British bourgeoisie, the British and Indian governments and the East India Company. But in China, it's a tragedy. The annual outflow of silver from China is more than 6 million taels, which leads to a serious domestic silver shortage, expensive silver and cheap money, which leads to the difficulties of the people's lives, the emptiness of the national treasury, and the depression and decline of industry and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, the opium import has seriously corrupted the social atmosphere and destroyed the people's physical and mental health. The increasingly weak physique has been called "the sick man of East Asia" by the western invaders, but mentally it has become enterprising and lazy. In the long run, the Chinese nation, which has been fighting for heaven and earth, working hard for thousands of years, will cease to exist.

"The poisonous crow smoke is a disaster that has never happened in China for 3, years". Lin Zexu was ordered by an imperial envoy to enter Guangzhou to investigate and ban, and he was in Destruction of Opium at Humen in 1839. This move violated the interests of colonialists, and the Qing government was weak and incompetent, and eventually failed, ending with land division, compensation and opening ports. This was the first opium war.

Soon, there will be no need to be secretive about selling and smoking opium in China.

"A bamboo gun, which scattered my wife and children, never heard the sound of the gun shaking the ground; Half a bronze lamp burned out the porch of the field, and no fireworks went up into the sky! " This has become a sight that can be seen everywhere in China.

in the late Qing dynasty and the early Republic of China, in order to save the dying regime, the Qing government once again launched a campaign to ban smoking. Soon, the Republic of China was established, and many of its places were dominated by gangs that smuggled and sold cigarettes. In addition, the warlords were separated and fought all the year round, and drug abuse was rampant again.

during the period of the Republic of China, smoking bans were introduced many times, but smoking was originally the interest of warlords of all walks of life. As a result, every smoking ban was superficial and actually spread more and more. What is particularly bad is that under the guise of "forbidding to levy".

In fact, opium fields are used as the main financial source to expand the civil war or support troops to protect themselves. Vagrants, local tyrants and evil gentry, bandits and warlords collude with each other to force farmers to grow opium to obtain high profits. Many fertile fields are either abandoned or become poisonous fields, and many farmers are oppressed and ruined.

For example, in southern Hunan, brothers Xu Shidi and Xu Shifa, bully landlords in Baojing County, forced farmers to plant at least 1, poppies per household, and levied more than 5% tobacco tax; If you disobey, you will still have to pay a "lazy donation" of 2 ounces of opium except hanging.

A poem written by smokers in Guang 'an County, Sichuan Province satirizes the Kuomintang government's anti-smoking policy: "I have three acres of land, and the government asked me to grow cigarettes, so I can make a donation; I have one or two silvers. The government asked me to buy cigarettes, and I bought cigarettes, so that I could smoke a lamp to donate. I have planted cigarettes to buy cigarettes and smoked. Why did you ask me to quit smoking? " According to statistics in 1945, there were 1.27 million mu of poppies planted in Fuyang alone, accounting for 49% of the total cultivated land.

In the Japanese-occupied area, after Japan invaded China, it not only prevented the China government from carrying out the smoking ban policy (even if it was only superficial), but also indirectly undermined the control of international capital on drugs in an attempt to control drugs in China. In its occupied area, a strict opium control system was established, from poppy cultivation to opium purchase, manufacture and sale, all under the strict control of the Japanese army.

the Japanese invaded the northeast for less than three years, and everywhere they went, there was no place that was not "poisoned" and "blackened". According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Puppet Manchuria in 1934, there were 9 million people taking opium, morphine and heroin in the territory of the Puppet Manchuria. Among them, 1% are smokers aged 15-18, 13% are smokers aged 19-24, 23% are smokers aged 25-29, and 33% are smokers aged over 3.

Of the 3 million compatriots in Northeast China, drug addicts account for one third.

Stuart Fuller, a representative of the Advisory Committee on Smoking Prohibition of the League of Nations, once sternly condemned Japan's crime of poisoning China people with narcotics. He pointed out: "The unimaginable situation in eastern Hebei, Tianjin and Peiping are full of despicable conditions, the spread of opium smoking in rural Hebei and the current situation in Shanghai are all related to the policy of poisoning others with opium, all of which are caused by the Japanese."

On the eve of the founding of New China, the tobacco-growing land in Guangyun Guichuan was as high as 15,454,6 mu, with Yunnan accounting for 33% of the cultivated land and Xikang accounting for more than 48%. There are more than 1 million farmers who grow poppies in China, more than 6, people who are engaged in drug trafficking and manufacturing, and the number of drug addicts reaches 2 million. There are many cigarette houses in various places. The cultivation, control, trafficking and smoking are almost all over the country and at all levels.

The rampant drugs have seriously hindered agricultural production, accompanied by armed trafficking, injuring people, damaging health, corrupting spirit and so on. Millions of people are in this dark hell, which is filled with poisonous gas and bonfires, like hay in a dense forest, and they can't see a ray of daylight.

This is the mess left by the old China to the new regime.

The rooster sings the praises of the world, and how did Mao Zedong eliminate drugs in a short time?

After the founding of New China, under the leadership of Chairman Mao, in less than three years from 195 to 1952, in order to restore and develop production and protect people's physical and mental health, drugs that had ravaged China for more than 1 years were eliminated.

With the establishment of a clean and upright society, pornography and gambling have been isolated from the people of China. Since then, the Chinese people have gained a strong physique and the spirit of changing the world. The people of China, who stand in the east of the world, have really stood up!

On February 24th, 195, Chairman Mao approved the Government Affairs Bureau of the Central People's Government to issue the General Order on Prohibiting Opium Smoking and Poisoning, which pointed out: "Since imperialism invaded China, it has been harmful to China for more than a hundred years.

Due to the reactionary rule of feudal comprador and bureaucratic warlords and their decadent and shameless life, tobacco poison was not prohibited, but forced to be planted. Especially under the Japanese imperialist aggression, China was poisoned in a planned way, thus killing people's lives and wasting people's property.

Now that the people of the whole country have been liberated, in order to protect people's health, resume and develop production, the method of banning opium, tobacco and other drugs is specially stipulated. "

In this spirit, various localities have successively formulated corresponding regulations and launched effective anti-drug campaigns.

In the southwest region where drug cultivation was the most rampant before, the Instructions on Spring Farming and Agricultural Production in 195 issued by the Southwest Military and Political Commission specifically pointed out that opium cultivation was strictly prohibited. In the spring of 1951, opium cultivation was basically banned in southwest China. For example, in Minquan Township, Songming County, Yunnan Province, farmers automatically concluded a convention to ensure that not a single tobacco seed would be buried in the soil, and the tobacco fields would be replanted with other crops.

After the General Order of the State Council was issued, all provinces, municipalities and administrative offices successively set up committees on smoking and drug control at all levels, and some rural areas also set up anti-smoking and drug control groups, whose key work was to carry out extensive publicity on smoking and drug control and set off a mass campaign against smoking and drug abuse.

most localities have made extensive and in-depth publicity and education on anti-smoking and drug abuse in people's congress, farmers' congress, and rent reduction and remand, in the form of special discussion, complaint meeting, street propaganda, cartoon slogans, etc., so that it is well known to all women and children.

For example, a smoking cessation ballad in a certain place is widely sung in the local area: "Chairman Mao called for a big anti-drug, and all of us should respond. Smash the bong and burn the bong, so that they will never appear. No opium, strong body, open your arms and do your work; Banning opium saves money, supports North Korea to win the battle, and supports the country's construction. "

And this is exactly what the first article of the General Order specifically emphasizes: "Make extensive publicity on smoking ban and drug control, and mobilize the people to act in concert".

in view of the actual situation of drug cultivation, transportation, production, trafficking and smoking, the people's government and public security organs adopted the strategy of "urging both sides and cutting off the middle", that is, persuading drug addicts not to smoke, planting and not planting (including compulsory eradication), focusing on blocking the circulation and cracking down on drug production and trafficking. At that time, this law was called "stopping the waist with a stick".

In addition, the "Instructions on Eliminating Drug Epidemic" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that it is necessary to crack down on and punish the minority, educate and reform the majority, and especially advocate meritorious service in reporting, that is, "manufacturers and collective sellers are strict, while individual sellers are lenient; The principal offender is strict and the accessory is lenient; Repeated offenders are strict, and occasional offenders are lenient; Those who refuse to confess are strict, and those who completely confess are lenient; Be strict in the future and lenient in the past.

the focus of the crackdown is on a large number of collective drug makers and dealers and serious illegal workers. The circumstances are not particularly serious, as long as they are completely frank, sincerely repent, and report meritorious deeds, they can be mitigated or exempted from punishment. " The masses were mobilized on a large scale. During the whole anti-drug campaign, more than 1.3 million people participated in the report.

in view of the fact that a small number of public security personnel were involved in drug trafficking, Xu Zirong, then vice minister of public security, said in a special report to President Mao Zedong that a mass anti-drug campaign must be held again with great fanfare at the end of the "three evils" and "five evils" movements.

Public security personnel, whether taking drugs, selling drugs illegally, trafficking, manufacturing and selling drugs, or sheltering drug offenders, are all serious crimes, which must be taken seriously and never condoned. Chairman Mao instructed that "the opinions put forward by Comrade Xu Zirong are good".

in p>1952, the central government successively issued the instructions of the central government on eliminating the drug epidemic and the general order of the government Council of the central people's government on banning opium and tobacco, and at the end of July of that year, it approved the report of the Ministry of public security on launching a nationwide anti-drug campaign, and launched a new round of anti-drug campaign.

According to the Summary Report on the National Anti-drug Campaign forwarded by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to the Minister of Public Security Luo Ruiqing, the campaign ended at the end of November 1952, and * * * identified 369,75 drug dealers and * * * arrested 82,56; 51,627 cases were handled, of which 33,786 were sentenced to various prison terms (including death penalty and life imprisonment), 2,138 were reformed through labor, 6,843 were under control, 3,534 were released, and 88 were executed;

*** seized 3,996,56 drugs, 235 drug-making machines and 15,716 sets, 263,459 tools for drug trafficking, 2 mortars, 5 machine guns, 877 long and short guns, 8,296 bullets, 167 grenades, 16 bombs and 6 transmitters.

With a multi-pronged approach, poppy cultivation has been effectively cut off throughout the country, and the circulation links have been cut off. Through the methods of self-abstinence and compulsory abstinence, tens of millions of smokers have been helped to quit smoking. In 1953, Zhou Enlai, Premier and Foreign Minister of China, solemnly declared to the world on behalf of the China government: "China has eliminated the bad habits that our predecessors failed to eliminate" and the People's Republic of China is a "drug-free country".

The reason why the new China can quickly eradicate the evil works that have been committed for more than a hundred years, and make them basically disappear in the whole 3 years is a miracle unique in human history. The main reasons are as follows:

First of all, this is a people's government, which is to serve the people. Unlike the National Government, there is no interest dispute in it, so it can be said and done, and it is really forbidden.

Secondly, conduct mass education and mobilize the masses extensively. It is the most powerful force to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people who are deeply concerned about drugs, and the people's extensive and in-depth participation has enabled the people to complete self-education and mutual education in the movement, and to make criminals have nothing to hide.

Third, appropriate strategies, such as slowly promoting smoking bans in ethnic minority areas, such as punishing only those who commit the most heinous crimes, and focusing on education. At the same time, together with the land reform, the "three evils" and five evils, it constitutes a great social change of that era, and the whole social outlook can be changed in a short time.

Fourth, eradicate the soil where drugs are produced. As a companion of capitalism, the drug problem, when the city has completed the three major transformations against five evils and after that, and the rural areas have been organized and formed the people's commune system, China has formed a relatively fair and just society, and formed a social atmosphere in which labor creates value and those who do not work are shameful.

The drug problem has lost its social foundation, and naturally it is almost extinct.
