International Conference : Fate of a Generation, Fate of a Country: History and Memory of China's Down to the Countryside Movement
The Down to the Countryside Movement is a significant historical episode during the Mao era in which urban youths were sent en masse to rural areas, a movement whose consequences and impact can still be felt in today's China. At the beginning, the objective was to allow urban youths to receive "re-education" from peasants in order to groom them as a new generation of peasants. Political movements with such radical objectives raise questions concerning universal values, in particular with regard to the limits of political power as well as the ability of individuals and social groups to adapt and resist.
China's rusticated youths, or zhiqing, are less widely known and understood in the West than the Red Guards. Nonetheless, the experiences of zhiqing have had a profound impact in the long term. The exceptionality of this generation of zhiqing (those around 60 years old today) continues to play out. For instance, like war veterans in the West, they organize memorial activities. However, they have found it difficult to achieve a common narrative for their personal experiences as they lack objective historical knowledge of a period which the state has to this day labeled as sensitive.
The present time appears to be a felicitous moment to evaluate the Movement, its causes and its influences particularly on the zhiqing generation, as these will continue to determine China's fate as they had in the past. The objective of this Conference is not only to provide a historical assessment, but also to show that this historical episode is indeed still playing out, taking the multifarious forms of literature, films and the arts, cultural and charitable activities organized by old zhiqing, as well as commercial activities.
