一、合作化给农民带来美好的生活和空前高涨的生产情绪。昆山县荷花乡位于阳澄湖畔,共有11个行政村,24个自然村,地形狭长,河道很多。全乡有农户835户,人口3165人,田地12320亩,土地肥沃,人民勤劳。但在解放前,这里的农民绝大部分是佃农,受着地主深重的剥削,生活非常困苦。解放后,经过土改,农民分得了土地,走“组织起来”的道路,生活一天一天的好了。1954年10月办起了3个初级社,1955年10月发展到18个初级社,到12月就成立了4个高级社,入社农户达到100％。 First, co-operation has brought good life and unprecedented production sentiment to farmers. Kunshan County Lotus Township is located in Yangcheng Lake, a total of 11 administrative villages, 24 villages, narrow terrain, a lot of rivers. The township has 835 households, population 3165 people, 12320 acres of land, fertile land, people hard-working. However, before the liberation, most of the peasants here were tenant farmers, who were deeply exploited by the landlords and lived in very difficult conditions. After the liberation, after the land reform, the peasants got the land and took the road of “organizing”. Life is better day by day. In October 1954, there were 3 junior societies in operation, 18 junior societies in October 1955 and 4 senior social clubs in December of this year, with 100% of the participating households.
