Commending and Mobilizing Women in the Early Period of New China
In the early years of New China,the CPC and the government,through commending prominent women,encouraged more women to move from family to society,so as to explore and stimulate their"potential"and"motivation".This commendation mechanism,with labor as its core orientation,encompassed model women selection,ceremonial recognition,and publicity,which constitutes an effective closed loop of incentives.The honorary recognition not only effectively stimulates the profound emotional experience and value recognition of"glorious labor"among the majority of Chinese women,but also awakens their subjective consciousness.This prompts them to closely integrate their personal struggles with national construction,transform their personal recognition of"struggling for the country"into positive actions,and advance the socialist construction of the New China in the process of realizing their own liberation.
