The Rectification (Cheng Feng) Movement carried on by the Yenan Government between 1941 and 1945 is the archetype of the Movements of the present day. The Rectification Movement is carried out on the basis of the three necessities of (1) re‐education of the Party member, (2) mobilizing everyone for production, and (3) overcoming “right” or “left” deviations within the Party, and is an intra‐Party educational movement which spreads outwards from the Party among the masses who are not members of the Party. Although the Rectification Movement was an intra‐Party movement it differed from a “purge,” and had as its aim the re‐education of the opposition.
