Culture, Political Movement, and Revolution

Résumé du livre

In this study the rise of the early Chinese communist movement in the Chongqing region is conceptualized as a result of an ongoing revolutionary process during the first two decades of the century which evolved in the context of local history and culture, not a product of the May Fourth era alone. Revolutionary movements and traditions of the 1900s and the 1910s were very important precursors of the rise of the Chinese communist movement in the region. The leading figures of the communist movement in the region began their revolutionary trajectory and made their revolutionary commitment to save China in the early 1900s. Their connection to local society and participation in the major Republican revolutions and local political movements played an important role in the rise of the communist movement in the region.
