- Abstract
The existing research cannot fully explain the failure of the Great Leap Forward movement. Perspectives on Nomenklatura (Kung and Chen, 2011)[8]and Decentralized Order Economy (Wu, 2016)[10] partially answer the question but do not perceive that it is the peasants-heavy industry structure endogenously required the Leap to maintain the industry growth (Wen, 2012)[11]. The great leap forward transferred excessive economic resources from rural areas to cities and the shrinking villages cannot support the enlarging cities. since China used embryonic theory to create demand for heavy, the economy has been quickly developing (Wen, 2015)[12]. However, under the economic block between USSR and USA, China chose the inefficient but necessary way to push her industrialization.
