The Study On Party Rectification During The War Of Liberation

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War,the Party’s land policy during the Anti-Japanese War was obviously no longer adapted to the new situation.To cope with KMT’s preparations for launching the civil war,the Communist Party of China(CPC)appropriately adjusted its land policy by promulgating the Instructions on May Fourth in 1946,thus opening the large-scale agrarian reform in the liberated areas.However,with the further development of the land reform movement,some deviations from the CPC’s policies,which are called "left" inclines,have gradually appeared in the land reform.At the same time,due to the low level of education,the low level of ideological awareness and the poor level of political theory among some cadres at the grass-roots level within the Party,the non-proletarian ideas gradually prevailed in the face of the temptation of great wealth brought by land reform.They began to abuse their power and corrupt.These bad behaviors not only seriously separated them from the masses,but also aggravated the contradictions in the grass-roots society and further blocked the reform.Realizing these errors and serious results,senior leaders of CPC launched a party rectification after a comprehensive understanding of the situation.The National Conference of Agrarian Reform from July to September in 1947 marked the rectification,which meant that openness of the CPC rectification.The thesis takes the rectification of the grass-roots party organizations during the war of liberation as the starting point,and systematically study and expound the interaction between the land reform and party rectification during the war of liberation,the adjustment between the central policy and local experience,between theory and practice through the vertical analysis of the chronological order of the party rectification as the axis and the horizontal analysis of the introduction of specific party rectification policies as the clue.The party rectification aimed to solve the problems like components of the party and work style at grassroots partyorganizations to purify leaders’ thoughts and then ensure that the agrarian reform and other work can be carried out smoothly.After the National Land Conference,the bases quickly began to launch the party rectification,due to lack of sufficient grass-roots work experience,"Left" deviation followed in the early stages of the party rectification.The "left" deviation has caused the party rectification not to achieve its due effect,but it has affected many cadres.After fully investigating and understanding the actual situation of the party rectification,the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China,headed by Chairman Mao,began to comprehensively correct the "left" deviation in the party rectification in the old and half-old districts at the grass-roots level at the end of 1947,and made systematic arrangements for the work in the coming period.In the later period of the party rectification,on the basis of rectifying the "left " deviation,a right deviation appeared,but after the adjustment of the party organization itself and the implementation of the mass policy,these negative influences were eventually eliminated.By the beginning of 1949,the work of rectifying the party in most of the old and half-old districts had basically ended,and the vast majority of Party branches at the grass-roots level in the base areas had been effectively rectified.The Party rectification movement has made the majority of party members and cadres generally receive a profound Marxist ideological education,purified the party’s grass-roots organizations,and greatly improved party members’ political quality,work style,and moral cultivation.The party rectification movement also promoted the smooth progress of the land reform,which provided a strong guarantee for the victory of the Liberation War.
