On MaoZedong's Industrialization Thought From 1949 To 1957

The industrialization is a development phase which any countrymust experience from a agricultural country to a industrializedone.As for China, the large-scale industrialization of true significancestarted from the establishment of the People's Republic of China.During the period of 1949 to 1957, the guiding ideology of ourparty in leading whole nation's each work was correct, and notappeared windingly, so we obtained amazing results. First, our partyled whole nation to restore the national economy rapidly within threeyears, and cleaned the barrier to the start of industrialization, openedup the road to industrialization. From 1953 to 1957, our party led thewhole nation to implement the first five years plan with theindustrialization as a chief part. during the Period, we got great aidfrom the Soviet Union's and hostility from USA and other westerncapitalist countries, therefore the Soviet Union's pattern had greatimpact on our industrialization at the beginning. But, in leadingChina' s industrialization practice, based on Marx's industrializationtheory, profited from the Soviet Stalin's industrialization theory, madeuse of our economic construction experience that our party hadobtained during the period of the democratic revolution,simultaneously rested on large-scale socialism construction realityrequest in our country and the concrete national condition, MaoZedong did not imitate the Soviet pattern and experience completely,he unceasingly summarized experience in the practice and innovatedbravely, thus forms an entire set of the industrialization theory inChina, which initially replied the historical task—how we changeChina—a backward large agricultural nation into a industrializedcountry. Mao Zedong believed that in China we must need about 100years to establish an independent integrity industrial system. Only bythen can we realize industrialization, according to concrete nationalcondition in China that most part of the population are farmers, MaoZedong proposed China's industrialization must walk the path whichthe socialist transformation and the socialist constructionsimultaneously carries on. China's industrialization must walk thepath that agriculture and light industry and heavy industry coordinateddevelopment and emphasized China's industrialization also includesthe agriculture modernization. China's industrialization needsvigorously to develop the science and technology and to studyadvanced experience of all nations, including that of the capitalistcountries. And he also emphasized that that we must carry outindustrialization under the principle of relying on our own effort andstriving for foreign aid as a auxiliary policy. Meanwhile he pointedout that China's industrialization must arouses all enthusiasm, Mustwell handle different relations between the central committee and theplace and among the national, collective and individual. We must dealwith the problem of accumulation and consumption to achieveconstruction and people simultaneously.Both Mao Zedong's industrialization thought and the SovietStalin's industrialization theory are used for solving the historicaltask in the poor and backward agricultural countries. It is right that thetwo kinds of industrialization theory have differences according toconcrete national conditions Soviet Union constructed into a powerfulindustrialized socialist nation in the short several years, and obtainedthe decisive victory in the war of national defense, which should beattributed to the Soviet Stalin's industrialization theory. Mao Zedong'sindustrialization thought stressed the national economy coordinationwith steady steps and healthy development. The thought not onlypowerfully has instructed the industrialization construction successfully and caused magnificent achievement of the first fiveyears plan, but also laid a good foundation for completing ourhistorical task of industrialization.Mao Zedong's industrialization thought is not only thecontinuation and development of Marxism industrialization theory butalso the theory cornerstone of Deng Xiaoping's constructing Chinesecharacteristic socialism theory and new time science developmentview. Mao Zedong's industrialization thought has a huge theory andreality influence on both our contemporary industrializationconstruction,comprehensive realization science development view,and constructing the socialism harmonious society.
