Sent-down youth in Xishuangbanna (1969–79)
On the Mao’s China map as “Xishuangbanna”
1969–79 — On army-run state farms in southern Yunnan, tens of thousands of sent-down youth from Shanghai, Beijing and Chongqing clear rainforest to grow rubber. Hunger, hard labor and abuse by cadres bring strikes and a petition to Beijing in 1978–79. Most are then allowed to return home.
