An almost continuous stream of mass movements that addressed national, international, moral and social topics marked the first decade of the PRC. This 'flow of campaigns', organized both at the national and the local levels, and in the rural and urban areas, was intended to strengthen the support for the CCP, to deepen the understanding of the new ideology that guided China, and to promote economic production. The goals for most of these initial mass movements were comparatively easy to understand.
