Peasants, who had suffered from poverty for generations, hoped for the early arrival of a happy life under the rule of Communism. They weaved all kinds of slogans for the happy life of Communism, such as " No oil is needed to light the lamp, no cattle are needed to cultivate the land "," upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephone ", and so on. It made people feel as if they were in heaven.

As a result, the ambition of "catching up with Britain and surpassing France"(at that time, Britain and France were regarded as the world's number one powers) was born in the hearts of the people. The impulse was suppressed by poverty and backwardness for thousands of years. The beautiful future of Communism was fascinating. Under the sacred desire of "running into Communism," the society of hundreds of millions of people broke out in the revolutionary wave of "Great Leap Forward". It was as unstoppable as a tsunami.

The high-pitched speakers of the public radio station played day and night, and the song of "Good Society" echoed in the fields at the village head. The poor and middle-aged peasants who had been liberated were full of energy and were in high spirits on the road of building a great society. They fought with high spirits and advanced triumphantly.

Steel production was an important indicator of whether a country was developed or not. The farmers in Dafutun heard the imperialists mocking China's backward steel through the speakers and knew the importance of the national steel production. Therefore, the steel production movement was in full swing.

Generations of illiterate doctors and peasants wanted to let the world know that the peasants of China could refine steel in a furnace made of bricks. They wanted to use action and iron facts to give a blow to the imperialists who mocked China for being backward.

The steel-making furnace was burning all night long. Every household's hoes and iron pots were melted into molten iron in the burning flames.

The farmers in Dafutun not only " knew " how to make steel, but they also " knew " how to produce fertilizers. They wanted to use their " wisdom " to create the most " scientific " and simplest method of fertilizer production in the world.

They set up rows of large water tanks in the fields, which were filled with feces from various households. The burning straw was heated around the large tanks, and the boiling feces churned in the tanks, emitting hot air. A disgusting smell filled the fields and floated into the village, almost suffocating the whole world.

The "miracles" created by the Great Leap Forward continued to emerge. Under the slogan of "the bolder the man, the more productive the land", people turned the land that only harvested 200 catties of wheat into a "satellite" field with a high yield of "10,000 catties".

The school was also involved in the Great Leap Forward Movement. The senior students were assigned to produce fertilizer, go door-to-door to collect and deliver manure, and the junior students went to the fields to pick cotton.

The first-year students had to complete the task of picking 50 catties of cotton every day. When the class announced the results, there was actually a student who picked 100 catties of cotton a day and released the satellite of the labor expert.

Before this, I had never picked cotton. In the cotton bushes that were taller than me, my face was scratched by the dry cotton stalks. Every day, I was so tired that my bones were about to fall apart. It was difficult for me to complete the task. The teacher went to my mother's house and told her that I had dragged the class back and made the whole class unable to complete the task. I had to be punished and even asked my mother to take out money to pay for the task.

The Great Leap Forward also brought the days of "Communism" to Dafutun as soon as possible. Farmers no longer had to cook at home. The village had established a "Communistic Canteen". Every household, men, women, and children, went to the canteen to live a collective life of "eating white steamed buns". In the previous life of Dafutun, which family had a history of eating white steamed buns every day? Even a landlord or a rich old man wouldn't dare to eat steamed buns with white flour every day.

Therefore, every day, the men, women, and children of the doctor's village would rush into the big canteen as if they were attending a temple fair. They would shout and laugh happily, enjoying the "beautiful" life that came with the "blink of an eye".
