In the early years following the establishment of the People's Republic of China, rural society in newly
liberated areas was in dire need of restructuring the rural land systems to foster economic development. The land
reform movement emerged as a response to this need. In Feixi County, the land reform was facilitated through various methods of publicity and mobilization, including conducting land reform experiments, forming land reform task
forces, organizing village meetings to hear villagers' grievances, establishing farmers' associations, and consolidating
the achievements of land reform. These efforts enabled grassroots cadres, farmers, and students from the East China
People's Revolutionary University to participate in the land reform movement in Feixi County, thereby ensuring its
smooth implementation. By examining the diverse actors and methods involved in the publicity and mobilization efforts in Feixi County, this study concludes that contemporary rural publicity and mobilization work should consistently adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, focus on central tasks, implement the mass line to
transform the Party's policies into the proactive actions of the masses, and innovate publicity methods to enhance
the effectiveness of rural publicity work.
