ABSTRACT
In the course of the great Socialist Education Movement, our Southeast Chin District consciously mobilized youth to inquire into the family histories of the poor and lower-middle peasants and organized the masses to discuss and write family histories so as to raise the class consciousness of youth, enable them to remember bitterness and think of sweetness, and further the goal of their revolutionization. The People of Taihang is an anthology of family histories of the poor and lower-middle peasants which have been selected from more than 70,000 family histories. It is an indictment against the old society as well as a eulogy to the new society. It is vital material for class education of the young and a legacy for the education of our offspring.
