Land reform in Long Bow village (1948)
On the Mao’s China map as “Long Bow village”
1948 — In Zhangzhuang (“Long Bow”), Shanxi, the American farmer and teacher William Hinton sees a work team divide the land and hold “speak bitterness” meetings. He also watches the team correct its own excesses. His book Fanshen (1966), meaning “to turn over the body”, remains the closest record of land reform as it worked inside one village.
