By comparing different historical narratives of the T hird F ront C onstruction that was built as a home‐front defensive industrial base against the threat of war from both the S oviet U nion and the U nited S tates in the 1960s, this paper aims to explore a particular aspect of C hina's socialist history in a relational manner that contrasts but also connects past and present, archives and subjectivity, top‐down and bottom‐up perspectives. It is part of a larger effort to understand the complexity of C hina's socialist history and its relation to the present.
