Editing Hundred Flowers Campaign (section)

=== CCP's internal perception towards the campaign ===
The party's internal attitude towards the campaign can be found in ''[[Resolution on Certain Questions in the History of Our Party since the Founding of the People's Republic of China]]:''<blockquote>The economic task in 1957, due to the serious implementation of the correct policies of the Party's "Eighth National Congress", was one of the most effective years since the founding of the country. This year, the entire Party launched the Rectification Campaign, mobilizing the masses to criticize and offer suggestions to the Party. This was a normal step in promoting socialist democracy. During the Rectification process, a very small number of bourgeois rightists took the opportunity to advocate for so-called "big revelations and big debates", launching a brazen attack on the Party and the new socialist system, attempting to replace the leadership of the Communist Party. It was entirely correct and necessary to firmly counteract this attack. However, the Anti-Rightist Campaign was seriously expanded, misclassifying a group of intellectuals, patriots, and Party cadres as "rightists", resulting in unfortunate consequences.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Resolution on CPC History |url=https://www.marxists.org/subject/china/documents/cpc/history/01.htm |access-date=2024-06-03 |website=www.marxists.org}}</ref></blockquote>
