The Chinese nation is an ancient and great nation in the world. It has created a splendid civilization lasting more than 5000 years and made indelible contributions to the progress of human civilization. After the Opium War in 1840, due to the invasion of Western powers and the corruption of feudal rule, China gradually became a semi colonial and semi feudal society. The country was humiliated, the people suffered, and civilization suffered. The Chinese nation suffered unprecedented disasters. In order to save the nation from danger, the Chinese people rose up and fought with people with lofty ideals. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, the Westernization Movement, the 1898 Reform Movement and the Boxer Movement began one after another. Various national salvation schemes were introduced in turn, but all ended in failure. The revolution of 1911 led by Dr. Sun Yat Sen overthrew the autocratic monarchy that had ruled China for thousands of years, but failed to change the social nature of China's semi colonial and semi feudal society and the tragic fate of the Chinese people. China urgently needs new ideas to lead the national salvation movement and new organizations to gather revolutionary forces. The sound of the October Revolution brought Marxism Leninism to China. The May 4th Movement promoted the spread of Marxism in China. In the great awakening of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and in the close combination of Marxism Leninism and the Chinese workers' movement, the Communist Party of China came into being in July 1921. The emergence of the Communist Party in China is an epoch-making event, and the face of the Chinese revolution has taken on a new look. The party is deeply aware that the main contradictions in modern Chinese society are the contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation, feudalism and the people. To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must carry out the struggle against imperialism and feudalism. At the beginning of the founding of the party and during the great revolution, the party formulated the program of the democratic revolution, launched the workers' movement, the youth movement, the farmers' movement and the women's movement, promoted and helped the reorganization of the Kuomintang and the establishment of the National Revolutionary Army, led the great national struggle against imperialism and feudalism, and set off the climax of the great revolution. In 1927, the reactionary group within the Kuomintang rebelled against the revolution and brutally slaughtered the Communists and the revolutionary people. Because the right-wing thought represented by Chen Duxiu developed into a right-wing opportunistic error and occupied a dominant position in the party's leading organs, the party and the people could not organize effective resistance, resulting in the disastrous failure of the great revolution under the sudden attack of a powerful enemy. During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the party realized from the cruel reality that without revolutionary armed forces, we could not defeat the armed counter revolution, win the victory of the Chinese revolution, and change the fate of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. We must oppose the armed counter revolution with armed revolution. The Nanchang Uprising fired the first shot of armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries, marking the beginning of the CPC's independent leadership of the revolutionary war, the establishment of the people's army and the armed seizure of power. The August 7th meeting decided to implement the policy of agrarian revolution and armed uprising. The Party led the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Guangzhou Uprising and uprisings in many other areas, but most of these uprisings failed because of the great disparity between the enemy and ourselves. Facts have proved that under the objective conditions at that time, the Chinese Communists could not win the revolution in the whole country by first occupying the central cities like the Russian October Revolution. The party urgently needs to find a revolutionary road suitable for China's national conditions. From attacking big cities to marching into rural areas is a new starting point of decisive significance for the Chinese revolution. Comrade Mao Zedong led the army and the people to establish the first rural revolutionary base in Jinggangshan. The Party led the people to fight local tyrants and divide land. The Gutian Conference established the principles of Ideological Party building and political army building. With the development of the struggle, the party created the central revolutionary base areas and bases in Western Hunan and Hubei, hailufeng, Hubei, Henan and Anhui, QiongYa, Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, Hunan and Jiangxi, Zuoyoujiang, Sichuan and Shaanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou. The party's white areas under the rule of the Kuomintang also developed the party and other revolutionary organizations and carried out mass revolutionary struggle. However, due to the wrong leadership of Wang Ming's "left" dogmatism within the party, the central revolutionary base area failed in the fifth anti "encirclement and suppression". The Red Army had to make a strategic shift and move to northern Shaanxi through the arduous Long March. The error of the "left" line has caused great losses to the revolutionary forces in the revolutionary base areas and the white areas. In January 1935, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held a Zunyi Meeting on the way to the long march. In fact, it established Comrade Mao Zedong's leadership position in the Party Central Committee and the Red Army, began to establish the leadership position of the correct Marxist line with Comrade Mao Zedong as the main representative in the Party Central Committee, and began to form the first generation of the party's central collective leadership with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core, It opened a new stage for the party to independently solve the practical problems of the Chinese revolution, saved the party, the Red Army and the Chinese revolution at the most critical juncture, and after that enabled the party to defeat Zhang Guotao's separatism, successfully complete the long march and open up a new situation of the Chinese revolution. This is a turning point of life and death in the history of the party. During the Anti Japanese War, after the September 18th Incident, the national contradiction between China and Japan gradually surpassed the domestic class contradiction and rose to the main contradiction. At a time when the Japanese imperialists stepped up their aggression against China and the national crisis was unprecedentedly serious, the party took the lead in holding high the banner of armed resistance against Japan, widely carried out the Anti Japanese and national salvation movement, and contributed to the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident, which played an important historical role in promoting the Kuomintang Communist Party's cooperation and unity against Japan again. After the July 7th incident, the party implemented a correct Anti Japanese national united front policy, adhered to the line of comprehensive anti Japanese War, put forward and implemented the general strategic principle of protracted war and a set of strategies and tactics of the people's war, opened up a large number of battlefields behind the enemy and anti Japanese base areas, and led the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, the Northeast Anti Japanese coalition army and other people's Anti Japanese armed forces to fight bravely, Become the mainstay of the whole nation's war of resistance against Japan until the final victory of the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japan. This is the first time since modern times that the Chinese people have completely won the national liberation struggle against foreign invasion. It is also an important part of the victory of the world anti fascist war. During the war of liberation, in the face of the all-round civil war brazenly launched by the Kuomintang reactionaries, the Party led the broad masses of the military and people to gradually shift from active defense to strategic attack, win the three major campaigns of Liaoshen, Huaihai and Pingjin and the river crossing campaign, March victoriously to the central south, northwest and southwest, eliminate the eight million troops of the Kuomintang reactionaries, overthrow the Kuomintang reactionary government, imperialism, feudalism Three mountains of bureaucratic capitalism. With the support of the people, the people's army led by the party waged a desperate struggle against the ferocious enemy with indomitable heroism, and made historical contributions to the victory of the new democratic revolution. In the revolutionary struggle, the Chinese Communists, mainly represented by Comrade Mao Zedong, combined the basic principles of Marxism Leninism with China's specific reality, made a theoretical summary of a series of original experience accumulated through arduous exploration and great sacrifice, opened up the correct revolutionary road of Encircling Cities by villages and seizing power by armed forces, and founded Mao Zedong thought, It pointed out the correct direction for winning the victory of the new democratic revolution. In the revolutionary struggle, the party carried forward the great party building spirit of adhering to the truth and ideals, practicing the original intention and undertaking the mission, fearing no sacrifice and heroic struggle, being loyal to the party and living up to the people, implemented and promoted the great project of Party building, put forward the principle of focusing on Ideological Party building, adhered to democratic centralism, adhered to integrating theory with practice, closely linked with the masses The three fine styles of criticism and self-criticism form the three magic weapons of the United Front, armed struggle and Party building, and strive to build a nationwide, mass and ideologically, politically and organizationally fully consolidated Marxist political party. Since 1942, the party has carried out rectification in the whole party, and this movement of Marxist ideological education has achieved great results. The party formulated the "resolution on certain historical issues" to enable the whole party to reach a consensus on the basic issues of the Chinese revolution. The party's Seventh National Congress formulated the correct line, principles and policies for the establishment of a new democratic new China, enabling the whole party to achieve unprecedented unity and unity in ideology, politics and organization. After 28 years of bloody struggle, the Party led the people and, with the active cooperation of democratic parties and non party Democrats, proclaimed the establishment of the people's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, realizing national independence and people's liberation, completely ending the history of semi colonial and semi feudal society in old China and the unification of a very small number of exploiters
