Chinese Land reform (土地改革)

Chinese Land reform (土地改革)

Land reform, in a Chinese context, denotes the abolition of the landlord class, returning farmland to peasants in the spirit of Sun Yat-Sen’s proclamation ‘He who tills the land shall own it.’ Soon after the Communists won the civil war, many peasants held the deeds to their own land for the first time.
