Short for “May 7th Cadre School,” named after Mao Zedong’s May 7th 1966 Directive on the need for cadres to maintain close links with ordinary people. Starting in 1968 during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), all government institutions, research, and educational organizations established farms to which their staff were sent, to work in the fields, perform other kinds of physical labor, and develop closer ties with the local farmers. In fact, this became a kind of “punishment” for intellectuals, often lasting several years. Later it became a rotational system for all staff. The May 7th Cadre Schools were abolished in 1979.
