Inside a People’s Commune: Report from Chiliying by Chu Li and Tien Chieh-yun.  Paperback book published by Foreign Languages Press Peking 1974.  All text is in English.

First Secretary Tien Hsiu-ching of the Commune Party Committee (3rd from left) and Secretary Chiu Chi-yu (5th from left) chat with commune members during a work-break; like all cadres here, they take part regularly in field labour.

Yen Hung-en (centre), one of the many peasant experts trained by the commune, gives lessons to young wheat-growers in his specialty, the improvement of seed strains.

Following the mass line, Liuchiang’s Party Secretary Shih Lai-ho (centre) consults old peasants, his favourite advisers, on how to raise cotton yields further.

Tung Tao-jung (1st from left) who toiled for a landlord’s family from the age of nine before the liberation, is now a deputy Party secretary of the Chiliying brigade of women’s and public health work.
