Abstract

After the founding of the PRC, as a higher adult literacy rate was needed for development of the country, a literacy campaign was started nationwide. The measures to promote literacy in Shanghai, a densely populated city with complex social stratification, were typical of nationwide efforts at that time. The literacy campaign in Shanghai was led by the government, with deep involvement of non-governmental forces. In other words, non-governmental forces were mobilized to teach literacy to the illiterate, resulting in a mass literacy campaign on an unprecedented scale.
