Open file in Google DriveRead full text

FBIS-monitored Xinhua text (28 Mar 1959) of D.N. Aidit's farewell broadcast to the Chinese people after a fortnight's PKI delegation visit. He praises the Great Leap and people's communes, defends them against 'imperialist lies', and argues peasant women welcome communal dining and nurseries because 'a smoky kitchen is no paradise', linking Taiwan and West Irian. Context for PKI discourse on women's emancipation.

Teks Xinhua yang dipantau FBIS (28 Mar 1959) tentang siaran perpisahan D.N. Aidit kepada rakyat Tiongkok setelah kunjungan delegasi PKI dua minggu. Ia memuji Lompatan Jauh dan komune rakyat, membantahnya sebagai 'dusta imperialis', dan berargumen perempuan tani menyambut dapur umum dan penitipan anak karena 'dapur berasap bukan surga', serta mengaitkan Taiwan dan Irian Barat. Konteks wacana PKI tentang emansipasi perempuan.

“p.2: 'a smokey kitchen is no paradise... if anyone insisted on the setting up of community dining rooms by people's communes, they were no other than the women.'”
