- Description
The booklet’s intention is to restore the reputation of the two-wheeled doubled-share plough that had come under attack during the year 1956. It contains a collection of 21 articles published in the first half of the year 1958 that defend the advantages of the two-wheeled doubled-share plough. On the title page, we can see Chairman Mao Zedong (second from left) inspecting the use of the plough on site. Its first article describes his visit at the Zhejiang Research Institute for Agricultural Sciences in Hangzhou in January 1958 where he admonished peasants not to forget the further development of agricultural tools among which the plough plays a significant role.
