叶剑英主政广东土地改革时,充分考虑广东自身特点,任用熟悉广东情况的本地干部,推行较温和的土改政策,被指责搞和平土改,犯了右倾错误。虽然他持续对广东基层组织进行整顿,但是仍被指责说带头搞地方主义,最后被调离广东。 When he took charge of the land reform in Guangdong, Ye Jianying made full use of Guangdong’s own characteristics, appointed local cadres who were familiar with the situation in Guangdong, promoted a more moderate policy of land reform, were accused of engaging in peaceful land reform and made the right-wing mistakes. Although he continued to reorganize grass-roots organizations in Guangdong, he was still accused of taking the lead in engaging in localism and was eventually removed from Guangdong.
