Lingao

Linkao County has reaped a great bumper harvest of early-rice with total production 30 percent more than last year. The county has set a fine example for Hainan in developing grain production. Its experiences show that "it is completely possible for agriculture in Hainan to take a great leap forward."

Subsequently, "all Hainan Island was swept by a wave of discrimination, attack, insult and threat against outside cadres [with the result that] everybody was plunged into a state of panic." This came to a climax in December 1956 with a "miniature Hungarian incident" in Linkao county.
