The Economic Relationship between Urban and Rural Areas in the Sent-Down Youth Movement——Taking the Establishment of Small Workshops in the Resettlement Areas of Shanghai Sent-Down Youth as an Example
On December 22,1968,Mao Zedong issued a call for"sent-down youth to go to the countryside",which sparked the climax of the Sent-Down Youth Movement.This movement lasted for more than 10 years,during which various e-conomic exchanges and connections inevitably occurred between the output areas of the sent-down youth and the receiving ar-eas of the sent-down youth.Intentionally or unintentionally,it broke the strict regulations and restrictions of the nation on ma-terial circulation under the planned economy system,connected the economic ties between modern cities and remote and closed villages,and to some extent changed the binary opposition and fragmented urban-rural economic relationship at that time.This change was strengthened in breadth and depth with the promotion of the"Zhuzhou model"of"linking factories and communes"to resettle the sent-down youth after the adjustment of the policy for sent-down youth in 1973.New phenomena and changes emerged,such as Shanghai supporting the establishment of small workshops in the resettlement areas for the sent-down youth.However,the changes and development of urban-rural economic relations during the Sent-Down Youth Movement were al-ways limited by the influence of left errors,which determined its instability and fragility.
