In the early 1950s, Xinjiang was peacefully liberated. The decision-makers of New China ordered 200,000 troops stationed in Xinjiang to cultivate wasteland and settle down there, determined to change the situation since ancient times that reclamation ended after one generation, in order to achieve the strategic goal of long-term peace and stability. Under the call of the CPC Central Committee to build Xinjiang, a wave of enlistment swept through the three regions and four waters of Hunan. For a time, enthusiastic women from Hunan gathered in the ancient capital of Changsha to sign up for military service.
