Creative Application of the Mass Line in Famine Relief in the Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Region

延安时期陕甘宁边区自然灾害频繁,灾民为数甚众。边区政府以对人民高度负责的政治高度,依靠"有组织的群众力量",全力开展群众性的互助互济,使边区不但没有出现一个难民和乞丐,而且经济发展,社会安定,人民生活进一步改善,创造了在新民主主义政权下坚持群众路线,依靠群众开展社会救济的成功经验,对执政条件下如何贯彻党的群众路线具有重要历史启示。

Natural disasters were frequent in the Shaan - Gan - Ning Border Region during the Yan＇ an Era, which resulted in numerous victims. The local governments, relying on the ＂strength of the organized masses＂, went all out to carry out campaigns of mass mutual aid and relief. As a result, there was not a single refugee or beggar in the region. In addition, its economy kept developing, the society remained stable and people＇ s living improved. The successful experience accumulated in carrying out the social relief work under the new democratic regime, that is, to follow the mass line and rely on the masses, is still of historic significance for the Party in implementing the mass line.
