Abstract: As China entered the period of large-scale construction in 1953, the Soviet industrial model appealed to her because of her backwardness in economy, her shortness in natural resources, and the tense international situation around her as well. Therefore, CPC chose to follow the Soviet model. However, during the 8th National Conference of CPC, with introspection on the seven years since China was founded, many new ideas andsuggestions for new policies which were more suitable for China’s situations were put forward. Nevertheless,due to some historical limitations the 8th conference was unable to break through the Soviet influence.
