The origin of "working hard for decades and returning to the pre-liberation overnight"?

The saying that "after decades of hard work, I returned to pre-liberation overnight" comes from the implementation of the policy of "contracting land to households".

in p>1984, the household contract responsibility system was implemented in China. At that time, the household contract responsibility system was required. Many people couldn't change their minds, so it was said that private ownership was finally eliminated, so that everyone had a job, food and clothing. As a result, it became private ownership after the distribution of production to households.

Extended information:

The household contract responsibility system has changed the old rural management system, liberated rural productivity and mobilized the enthusiasm of farmers for production and operation.

first, as far as the whole country is concerned, the level of agricultural development is relatively low, mainly manual labor, so it is not suitable for large-scale operation, and the business units are divided into families, which is suitable for the production level of this manual labor.

second, the original collective labor under large-scale operation (before the reform, the production team was the basic production and business operation unit in rural areas, and the farmers' work evaluation and scoring were distributed at the end of the year) is difficult to accurately count the quantity and quality of each person's labor, so it must be the "big pot" of egalitarianism, and taking the family as the economic unit can overcome the egalitarianism of doing more and doing less.

Third, the working objects of agricultural production are living things such as animals and plants, and this characteristic of the working objects requires workers to have a stronger sense of responsibility. Taking the family as the business unit is helpful to realize this requirement. Therefore, the household contract responsibility system enables agricultural production and rural economy to flourish.
