Abstract

When describing everyday life in Maoist China, there has been much attention on the state power that had a great impact on what people were wearing in a socialist state. This article explores the history of synthetic fibers in Maoist China to discuss how consumer behavior had an influence on the development of the textile industry. This article analyzes the growing popularity of a cotton-polyester blend fabric called diqueliang in the 1960–70s, and highlights technology development and a sense of novelty attached to the acceptance of a new fabric. This article argues that the everyday life in Maoist China was not entirely dominated by the state; rather, the society made its choices based on their living conditions, which also shaped life in the socialist state.
