Basic Reform of Chinese Rural Education (April 1927) |
| |
| Abstract: | Chinese rural education is on the wrong path. It teaches people to leave the country and run to the city. It teaches people to eat rice, not to grow it, to wear clothes but not to plant cotton, and to build houses rather than planting forests. It teaches people to admire expensive habits and look down on devoting oneself to agriculture. It teaches people to consume, not produce. It teaches farmers' children to become bookworms. It teaches the rich to become poor and the poor to become even poorer. It teaches the strong to become weak and the weak to become even weaker. In the face of impending disaster, it is imperative that all comrades rein in their horses and find a new road. |
