Effects of the Chinese Communist Revolution In 1949, the Chinese Communist Party won the civil war and founded the People's Republic of China. The new communist government, led by Chairman Mao Zedong, launched the Communist Revolution to reform the country that had suffered from decades of war and social turmoil. China was reborn and changed in many aspects during these years of revolution, and the Communist Party also gradually consolidated its control during these years. One of the first changes in the Communist Revolution was the distribution of land. In 1950, just several months after the new country was founded, the government launched its land reform campaign. In China for thousands of years, landowners, who made up a small portion of the population, owned most of the land, while farmers, who made up a huge portion of the population, owned only a small portion of land. In many cases, several peasants worked for a landowner, and although the peasants did almost all the work, they received little money and were sometimes even exploited by the landowner. The communist aimed to help poor peasants get what they deserved and save them from harsh lives. However, not everyone benefited. People were placed into different classes and the landowning class was suppressed. Despite those landowners who treated peasants badly and obtained property by exploiting others, there were good landowners who worked with peasants and earned their property through hard work. In The Corpse Walker, former landlord Zhou Shude said, "I was kind to others. I had never harmed anyone or harbored grudges against others. However, my fellow villagers, who were previously polite and respectful , they had suddenly changed, as if everyone had worn the diff...... middle of paper ...... eventually they were fought and accused by the group because of Mao's change in the attitude of criticism and suggestions. In the case of Wenxin and Feng, this completely changed their fate: from college students with a bright future to counter-revolutionaries with right-wing status who were to stay in rural regions for decades. The goal of the Communist Revolution was to realize Communism in China and thus help China become stronger and develop more rapidly. However, because the campaigns were not perfectly planned and Mao's desire for centralization of power gradually became stronger, the outcomes of the revolution conflicted with the principle of the “Line.” mass". People's blind adoration for Mao after brainwashing in the countryside and their extreme behaviors which were so called to defend Chairman Mao actually made many ordinary people experience injustice and suffer difficult lives.
