Research Of The May Seventh Cadre Schools Of Guangdong Province

The May 7th Cadre Schools refer in particular to the schools that organized by Guangdong under the May 7th Indicator.It is rather remarkable that they are not only have common connection with cadre schools in other provinces,but also have distinctive characters.This essay mainly talks about the history of the May 7th Cadre Schools in Guangdong,and preliminarily discusses their basic features and social influences for Guangdong.The cadre schools are bound up with the Cultural Revolution.In the late 1960s,most of cadres in Guangdong were terribly being attack,and urgently necessary to be relocate.In the meanwhile,the study classes of Mao Zedong~'s thought could neither resolve this real problems,nor put the spirit of May 7th Indicator into effect.So when the directive of“transferring cadres into countryside and doing manual labor”was issued,and the experience of the May 7th Cadre School of Liuhe was generalized around China in October,1968,a large number of May 7th Cadre Schools showed up in Guangdong.From the respect of developing process of May 7th Cadre Schools of Guangdong,it can be divided into 4 stages.The first stage is from October,1968,to February,1969.In this time,more than 300 cadre schools rushed into mass action and quantities of cadres and intellectuals were transferred into countryside and forced to do heavy manual labor at the same time.The second stage is from March,1969when the general check-up on cadre schools directly managed by the government of Guangdong,to the event of Lin Biao incident in September13th,1971.During the time,all levels of revolutionary committees in Guangdong gradually strengthen management for cadre schools.With the assignment of some cadres and the movement and combine of cadre schools,the number of the schools was gradually reduce.The third section is from September 13th,1971,to October,1976,before the crusher of the Gang of Four.In this period,the central task was changed into training cadres at posts,and the number of schools reduce sharply with the recombination.Though it had gone up by a small margin after the 10th National Congress of the CPC,it could not continue to develop actively.The four section is from October,1976,to the revoke of the May 7th Cadre School of huilai.During this period,the rear survival schools were on the wane and finally disappeared in Guangdong.From the aspect of teaching and learning content of the May 7th cadre schools of Guangdong,they regard the May 7th Indicator as the policy and persisted in studying politics,workers,PLA men,and participating social investigation,criticizing bourgeois.It is notable that the schools have different emphasis in different period.Though there is no lack of merit,it showed strong Leftism color under the guidance of Leftist ideology.From the aspect of developing feature,the total number of cadre schools is more than 300 and the total number of cadre Schools which directly managed by the government of Guangdong is more than 30,both of them are unique in all over China.Besides that,the school setting time focus upon October to December,1968.In addition,the cadre schools mainly setted up by Guangdong and the number of cadre school that setted by the central government department of China is only one.The cadre schools mainly focus on the north of Guangdong and the cadre Schools established in Yingde county gather most of excellent intellectuals from all around Guangdong.From the aspect of the influence,the cadre and intellectuals get some training from it,however they suffered a lot hardship whether physics or spirit.The May 7th Cadre Schools directly influence the whole Guangdong and make the Leftism mistake around Guangdong.Compared with the expense of cadres and intellectuals,the expense of the developing of Guangdong,even the expense of progress of China,the harvest of Guangdong is little.In a word,the May 7th Cadre Schools are destructive things and they should be denied.
