Travels in China 1966-71

---

There has been, and will be for some time to come, a good deal written on the China of the past half decade, for the changes during that time have been both fundamental and dramatic. This record, based in the main on my notes of travels during the 1966-71 period, takes us into factory, school, forest and commune in many parts of the hinterland. As cities and towns are now much more than before integrated with and servicing the back country, some visits to organisations even in the bigger urban centres have been included. Most of my travels were made to communes, organisations and other units which were considered to be models for work at that particular stage of the Cultural Revolution. Each step for- ward, however, showed up new steps that had to be taken to consolidate the position gained, and to insure that the idea spread to other brigades, communes, counties and provinces. One model piece of work cannot stand by itself, can only be considered a pilot-undertaking if others follow on, as they have done in the case of the greatest model of all, Tachai of Shansi. The subsequent years of the Cultural Revolution ensured that conditions were created which made it possible for all units to become pilots for others and to catch up with and learn from the more advanced. The negative results which followed the enforcement of the revisionist line of Liu Shao-chi will be seen from my notes on such brigades as Tao- yuan in Funing county, and Hsihoying near Tientsin, which will be de- scribed in the chapters on Hopei and on Peking and Tientsin, respectively
