Foreign businessmen have set up many shipyards and factories in China's trading ports. These foreign enterprises exploit the vast working people in China by taking advantage of China's cheap raw materials and labor. In this way, the proletariat in China was born in foreign enterprises before the bourgeoisie in China.
1In the 1940s, British businessmen founded the Ding Bai Wharf in Hongkong. British businessmen founded the Mohai Library in Shanghai. American Presbyterian Church set up a flower bible study class in Macau. The workers of these foreign-funded enterprises were all employed by bankrupt farmers and craftsmen in China, and they became the first industrial proletarians in China.
Subsequently, in the factories and mines founded by the Westernization School and the national bourgeoisie, the China proletariat also appeared. By 1894, there were about 654.38+10,000 people. Although the number of the proletariat in China is small, it is relatively concentrated. Except miners, they are basically concentrated in coastal trading ports and the Yangtze River basin. Shanghai has the most, followed by Guangzhou and its vicinity. The concentration of workers in big cities and large and medium-sized enterprises is conducive to publicizing and organizing workers' struggles. The proletariat in China mainly comes from bankrupt farmers and craftsmen, and it is the representative of China's new productive forces.
2, 19 19 During the May 4th Movement, the proletariat in China began to take to the political stage and spread Marxism.
The May 4th Movement was a resolute anti-imperialist movement initiated by students and expanded by workers. This is a new-democratic revolution led by the proletariat.

Working class (also known as working class, working class, etc. ); English: working class) is usually used to indicate social status and social class, the industrial or manual working class whose livelihood depends on wages. Usually refers to a kind of person who is employed to do manual or technical work to earn wages. At any time, the proportion of this class in society is the highest, but with the development of economy, this proportion is declining, and it is generally dominated by industrial workers. There is no consistent interpretation of this term, mainly depending on individual's different positions and viewpoints. For example, the standard of class division in the United States is determined according to regular income and employment rate.
The working class, also known as the proletariat, can be traced back to 14 and 15 century when the workshop handicraft industry appeared in Europe. By the second half of the18th century, the industrial revolution marked by the invention of steam engines and cotton processing machines and the overall transformation of civil society provided an opportunity for its development and stepping into the political arena.
In modern capitalist society or socialist society, the working class, whether it is the ruled class or the ruled class, has become an important part of the social organizational structure and hierarchical structure, and has great influence and appeal on social politics, economy, culture and other aspects. Therefore, understanding the spiritual mechanism, action logic and cultural practice of the working class is not only the object and content of purely studying the topic of the working class, but also the basic premise of analyzing and discussing the theory of class stratum. ?
The working class is the leading class of our country, and the alliance of workers and peasants is the political foundation of our country. The reason why the working class has become the leading class of the country is determined by its class nature and historical mission. The alliance of workers and peasants is the alliance between the working class and the peasant class, and it is the political foundation of our country. Taking the alliance of workers and peasants as the basis of political power is determined by China's basic national conditions. The workers' and peasants' alliance represents the vast majority of our population, which not only constitutes a solid foundation of the people's democratic dictatorship, but also shows the full democracy and broad representation of the people's democratic dictatorship.
