新中国成立初期,为了清理和重建城市基层社会秩序,人民政府在全国各大中城市进行了游民改造专项运动。在将近十年的游民改造运动中,上海前后共计收容改造了7万余游民,彻底清理了旧中国最为复杂的大都市,为新上海的建立奠定了良好的社会基础。 In the early days after the founding of New China, in order to clean up and rebuild urban grass-roots social order, the People’s Government conducted a special campaign to remodel tourists in all major cities across the country. In the past decade or so of the tourist transformation movement, Shanghai totally housed and renovated more than 70,000 tourists and thoroughly cleaned up the most complicated metropolis of old China, laying a good social foundation for the founding of New Shanghai.
