I run into a lot of people with preconceived notions which contradict my own observed facts. The idea that the KCT is a benevolent group of agrarian reformers. for example. is dying very hard. I know that conditions in the Chinese countryside under the KCT are worse than under the KMT because I have seen and talked to any number of refugees fleeing from the areas taken over by the new government. I knew one case in detail where a family had some 25 mu of land (about 4 acres) and a bicycle. The new authorities took all but 14 mu (2 mu for each member of the family). and the bicycle. which was regarded as a capitalistic luxury.
