The Years of Educated Youth in Inner Mongolia

The movement of educated youth to the mountains and countryside refers to the political movement from the 1950s to the late 1970s, in order to eliminate the three major differences. After Chairman Mao called on "it is necessary for educated youth to go to the countryside and receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants," a large number of urban educated youth left the city on a large scale and settled in the vast majority of rural areas and participated in labor, that is, "jumping in line to settle down" to improve their practical effect. My grandfather was no exception. As a high-level intellectual of that era, he responded to the country's call and participated in the movement of educated youth up and down the mountain. Even after returning to the city, he was meticulous in his work and made great achievements. Now that the old man has reached the age of seventy, he is also in the age of his heart. He often thinks of his past as an educated youth, so he wants to write a memoir and let me help him publish it. The old man has always been a serious person, and the stories in the book are all things he experienced back then. Some people say that the old man is like a thick book. When you are willing to open this book, you will find that he is more vivid than any other books and records, because in the river of time, they were also bright flags!
