A Study Of The Rectification Movement In The Early Days Of The Founding Of New China(1949-1952)

After entering the city in 1949,some party members and cadres of the Communist Party of China were complacent,which resulted in the work style of bureaucratism and commandism.They violated the law and discipline,did not pay attention to the United Front Work and separated from the masses.In order to rectify these bad working styles,on May 1,1950,the CPC Central Committee issued the May 1directive,which called for rectification throughout the party,mainly against bureaucracy and commandism,close internal and external relations,and consolidate the new regime.According to the top-down rectification method,all localities carry out rectification mobilization,learn rectification documents,train rectification cadres,check and summarize work,and carry out criticism and self-criticism.After the national rectification movement ended in February 1951,with the "increase production and save economy" movement becoming the main task of the country,at this time,combating corruption and waste plays an important role in economic construction,so the central government launched the "three anti" movement to push the rectification movement to the climax.At this time,the main contents of the rectification movement are the "increase production and save money" movement and the "three counter movements".We have continued to follow the rectification movement,and the CPC has rectified corruption,waste and bureaucracy.Through the rectification movement,it has produced positive effects: first,it has strengthened the construction of the party,raised the awareness of Party members and cadres,made party members and cadres realize the harm of bureaucracy and commandism,and improved their work style in practical work.The second is to train cadres at the grass-roots level,through democratic re-election,to transform the regional and township political power,and to establish the party’s ruling authority at the grass-roots level.The third is to improve the national system,mainly to improve the national document processing,confidentiality,collective office system,as well as the judicial supervision system within the party.However,due to various subjective and objective factors,there are still some deficiencies in the rectification movement.First,the rectification is divorced from the actual work,including mechanical rectification and void rectification.Secondly,there are still acts of retaliation in the party,so we wait for the rectification movement and take a laissez faire attitude towards it.Finally,there is a phenomenon that "the law does not punish the public" and "the punishment is relatively light" for small and medium-sized embezzlers.The reasons for the above-mentioned deficiencies are: first,the limitations of the party’s small-scale peasant thought;second,the revolutionary inertia thinking has had an impact on Party members and cadres;third,the national legal system is not perfect.The research shows that the ultimate goal of the rectification movement is to close the relationship between the party and the people and consolidate the new people’s political power.The rectification movement in the early days of the founding of new China is the practical response of the Communist Party of China to the collapse of Nanjing National Government,and also the practice of the Communist Party of China to Huang Yanpei’s cave pairs.Compared with the previous rectification movement,the Communist Party of China has learned from the experience and lessons of the previous rectification movement.In the "three anti" rectification movement,the Communist Party of China did not punish all the corrupt elements by law,but dealt with the major corrupt and wasteful elements,and adopted the method of inner-party education for more corrupt and wasteful elements.However,it should be noted that the CPC is still hard to get rid of the influence of class struggle thinking,and class struggle consciousness still exists in the party,which shows that the CPC has not given up its own revolutionary.The rectification movement is the party’s self revolution.In the process of rectification,the CPC implemented the people’s Congress system at the grass-roots level,which made the party change from a revolutionary party to a ruling party.As the vanguard of the proletariat,the rectification of the party’s style in the early days of the founding of new China is of great significance for today’s strengthening of the party’s anti-corruption construction.It is of great practical significance to re mention the "question of Huang Yanpei" and the historical cycle law to consolidate the party’s ruling foundation.
