Jiao Yulu (Chinese: 焦裕禄; 16 August 1922 – 14 May 1964) was a Chinese politician. Jiao Yulu was considered to be an example of Mao Zedong's good student during the period of Mao's personality cult. After his death, a campaign to study Jiao Yulu's example was started in 1966. The aim of the campaign was to boost morale and to rally the people to work harder to overcome difficulties. Chinese Communist Party members in particular were called upon to follow Jiao Yulu's example by conducting more research and investigations into local conditions, and learn from his leadership style.
