The government at that time did not allow companies to fire workers. Those who violated factory rules could be
given demerits or,much more seriously, be deprived of factory membership (that is, no longer part of the company’s
collective ownership) and placed on probation. Once, when we were cleaning a warehouse, some workers
were seen carrying away materials.We caught one of them and within an hour posted the consequences on the factory
bulletin board: That worker was deprived of factory membership and placed on probation. This punishment
came as a huge shock to people. My main purpose, however, in establishing strict discipline was not to punish those who made mistakes.
I knew that the great majority of employees wanted from the bottom of their hearts to be good employees.
The problem was that the atmosphere was too bad for them to work well in. Far from frightening employees, stronger
discipline in the factory endowed them with confidence and hope. The change in morale was obvious within six months.
