2. The first sign is the promulgation of the Land Reform Law of the People's Republic of China in June 1950.

Land reform is a profound social revolution that the Communist Party of China (CPC) led the people of China to completely eliminate the feudal exploitation system, and it is a basic task of the democratic revolution in China.

During the democratic revolution, the Communist Party of China put forward a thorough program of agrarian revolution and led the land reform in the liberated areas. Before the founding of New China, the old liberated areas such as Northeast China and North China, which accounted for about one third of the country's area, had basically completed the land reform and eliminated the feudal exploitation system.

Historical evolution:

Before liberation, semi-colonial and semi-feudal old China still maintained the feudal land system, with landlords and rich peasants accounting for less than 5% of the rural population and owning 50% of the land.

They exploited and oppressed farmers cruelly by virtue of the land they occupied. Poor peasants, farm labourers and middle peasants, who account for 90% of the rural population, only account for 20% to 30% of the land.

They work hard all year round, are exploited and have no food and clothing. This feudal land system seriously hindered the development of rural economy and China society. They are miserable. After the founding of New China, the newly liberated areas with a population of more than 300 million have not carried out land reform, and farmers urgently demand land reform and land acquisition.
