"System of Land Ownership of the Heavenly Kingdom" is a revolutionary program of abolishing feudal land ownership. Although it has certain fantasy and cann't be completely implemented,it reflects the fundamental aspirations of the majority of the peasants and once enormously inspires the revolutionary enthusiasm.
