在大跃进的一九五八年冬天,在人民公社成立以后,桂阳太和、新塘、长乐三所民办初中合并为太和农业中学。合并之初,学校一无所有。没有校舍,两百多学生分住在太和墟五个伙铺里。没有校具,也没有资金,学校唯一的财产是破锅灶一付,烂谷箩三抯,连吃饭用的碗钵也添置不起,那时只得动员学生自带。两百多人的菜金可成问题啦,一天要二十多块钱,这又从何筹措哩?公社刚建立不久,资金要用在发展生 In the winter of 1958 in the Great Leap Forward, after the establishment of the People’s Commune, private junior high schools in Taiyang, Xintang and Changle were merged into Taihe Agricultural Middle School. At the beginning of the merger, the school had nothing. There are no school buildings. More than two hundred students are living in the five houses of Tai He Hui. There is no school equipment and no funds. The only property of the school is a broken pot stove, three meals in the rotten valley, and even the bowls for meals are also expensive. At that time, they had to mobilize students to bring their own. More than two hundred people’s food can be a problem. We need more than twenty dollars a day. Where can we raise funds from it? The commune has just been established and funds will be used for development.
