Forty years ago, Mao Zedong issued the call "Learn from Daqing in industry," and soon after, the movement to learn from Daqing swept across the country with great fervor.

Daqing and Dazhai were both banners raised by Mao Zedong on China's industrial and agricultural fronts. Forty years ago, Mao Zedong issued the calls "Learn from Daqing in industry" and "Learn from Dazhai in agriculture," and soon after, the movements to learn from Daqing and Dazhai swept across the country with great fervor. In the history of the People's Republic, these two movements lasted for a long time, covered a wide scope, involved a large number of people, and had a profound and extensive impact on the country's politics, economy, and culture. The books The Origins of Learning from Daqing and The Origins of Learning from Dazhai systematically disclose the origins and development of the movements to learn from Daqing and Dazhai, summarize the successes and failures of promoting China's economic construction through mass movements, and explore how to further promote the Daqing and Dazhai spirit under the conditions of a market economy. Both books are rich in first-hand materials, feature independent research perspectives, and have a distinctive and expressive structure.
