==Actually, the way that we comprehension the meaning of communal living was different to the passed. Like in last centry 50-60s, Chinese community party has an new decision which is set up something called The people’s commune. In every places, even in a small town, they have the commune, the scope was not big, it’s around 200 people per commune. What the did is, the commune share all the resourse, food, clothes, field ect.

 * The history of communal living: **

The Chinese people praising the people’s commune.



==Not only in China, some other countries have the people’s commune too, it’s also a kind of community, the main essential was the same but different in small point. The main idea of the commune in the passed was “share”, people in the commune have right to get the things.== ==But later, people found that the people’s commune was not as good as image. At first, the propuse to set uo the people’s commune is to solve the problem that the people are homeless of no food to eat. After some years, the disadvantage appeared, because everyone got the same thing, what it means is, whatever you work or not, you also can get yours, so some people choose don’t working and just wait for the food, so the production capacity was decreasing strongly.==

So, in modern day, the people’s commune was disappear, people also share things like houseing estate, but you must pay for it.

==__ l The people’s commune is like a group, and the group must have a leader, the leader of the people’s commune should obey the higher leader, and the higher leader should obey the other higher leader and so on. So these leaders like the council and they make decision in some improtant things---__==

 * Connection to the Anthem: **

The word “commune” was strongly connect to the novel—Anthem.
==First of all, the Anthem is talking about a society that everyone was the same. So, from the form of the society system, it’s kind of communal living. Not only the resource, all the things were shared, everyone got the same thing.== ==Secondly, the commune was control by the council, so the council was the leader of the entire commune. Also in the Anthem, in that society, they also have a council called “The council of the world”, this is the main part in the society and it control most of things, almost the same as the council in the commune.== ==The third one is, everyone got the same thing. In the people’s commune, every person got the same food, same clothes… in the Anthem, the people got the number which is their “name”, and everyone has the same thing, nobody have special right or treatment.==
