A Study Of Patriotic Health Campaign Of Nanjing In 1952

1952’s anti-germ warfare propaganda sparked a nationwide patriotic health campaign. Nanjing becomes one of only two major cities which get class B model because of its outstanding performance in this campaign. Wulao village, which was located on the outskirts of Nanjing, is to be known as "Longxugou" in Nanjing and becomes a banner in the national patriotic health campaign.Before and after the founding of the PRC, epidemic prevention and environment cleaning as the two work independently of the health and municipal work, was normalized and not very prominent. But with the occurrence and development of the Patriotic Health Campaign, they became the main content of the campaign and changes have taken place in the movement in the forms and scale. Although the Republic of China had emerged Summertime Cleaning Campaign, but the two are quite different."Epidemic Prevention", there are severe infectious diseases in the early liberation period of Nanjing, public health departments had to implement the directives of superiors and took the health and epidemic prevention as a top priority in the ongoing vaccination. With the health management and transportation practices health medical staff improved immunization awareness; In 1952, supected "bacteria weapon" was found in the Korean battlefield and the central committee of the CCP carried out in the huge "anti-germ warfare" struggle, Patriotic Health Campaign arises at the historic moment, Nanjing’s previous epidemic prevention practices combined with "the anti-germ warfare" movement, made great achievements."Cleaning Campaign" summer clean-up campaign was carried out in modern Chinese political tradition, as the capital of the Republic of China in Nanjing Summertime Cleaning Campaign is a national model. Although the 1936 campaign quite momentum, because of its ability to mobilize and control is weak, has been unable to form a large-scale mass movement. Comparatively, in 1952, this time with "patriotic health campaign" for the characterization of the clean-up campaign has achieved the greatest degree of popular participation, launched a "spring clean", "Si guang si mie" and other sanitation work. A large number of people invention emerged, but also from side to prove it is true "mass public health campaign."A mass movement are inseparable from any propaganda and organizational work, Propaganda in the 1952 Nanjing Patriotic Health Campaign played an important mobilization, propagation effects, Party organizations and mass organizations appear like the handle and circle of a hand fan in the movement. Models are not only products of the movement, but also a means to promote movement development. Wulao village as Nanjing Patriotic Health Campaign’s typical model, not only in this campaign, but also the subsequent political movements."Propaganda", beginning in 1951, the CPC Central Committee decided to systematically establish regular masses propaganda network. Nanjing propaganda network basically completed by the end of 1951, while restructured in early 1952, and thus play an important role in the subsequent patriotic health campaign. "Xinhua Daily" as was the Nanjing government’s authoritative media, combined with the propaganda network, occupied the high ground of public opinion in the fight against anti-germ warfare and disease control after the cleaning campaign.1952 Patriotic Health Campaign, in addition to the previous two forms, as well as Patriotic Health Assembly in April and Broadcast in August, both set off a new wave of movement climax."Organization", by the end of March 1952, Nanjing established top-down administrative organization, which lead the Patriotic Health Campaign. Nanjing Health Committee has played a central role in the leadership and command centers, and its affiliated clubs are extended to the grassroots community. On the other hand, mass organizations composed of all walks of life is the main body of the mass movement, especially the establishment of temporary commando. They regarded the task of the movement as a major work,and swept through Nanjing. In the course of the campaign, Nanjing also established a complete inspection system, from municipal to grassroots set up a fixed inspection team. In particular, the emergence of forms which allow residents to check the government agencies adds a lot of new ideas."Model", in October 1952, Nanjing launched a bottom-up Model selection movement, resulting in a large number of units and individuals models. The generation of these models contain individual efforts and organizations’culture. After becoming a model, they can received a high honor. Wulao village as the most prominent model sample of the Patriotic Health Campaign, has become a liberation cute "Happy Village" from the liberation cute and repulsive "distressed village".To promote the progress of health work, Nanjing launched the "Wulao villagization" after the Campaign and there have been a red flag all over the scene. In this case, Wulao village Nanjing became an important political symbol.The revolutionary doctrine is popular in the 1950s, revolutionary ideals and patriotism constitutes the social atmosphere of the Patriotic Health Campaign; But market doctrine became mainstream of the times, the nature of the patriotic health campaign has quietly changed. The original patriotic health campaign organization is still there, but large-scale mass health movement is away from us.
