15 agos 1969 anni - Up to the mountains and down to the villages

Descrizione:

Mao had a problem of what to do with the millions of radicalised young people who had flooded into the cities to lead the revolution. So, he encouraged the young to go to the countryside and learn how the peasants lived.

Reasons for the Up to the mountains and down to the villages campaign:

- Reduce unemployment in cities
- Teach urban youth about peasants.
- Send Red Guard to areas where they would do less damage.

However, the work was tough and the living standards were poor, and the young did not enjoy the campaign.
