The May 4th Movement, which took place in 19 19, is regarded as the ideological source of many important events in China's modern history.

The direct reason is the international conference on postwar issues held in Paris from191018 to June 28th after the First World War.

Twenty-seven countries including Britain, France, the United States, Japan and Italy participated, while the Soviet Union and Russia did not.

Nominally, this meeting is to draft a peace treaty with Germany and establish post-war world peace. In fact, imperialism slaughtered the defeated country and redefined its sphere of influence.

China was one of the victors, and the delegation was composed of officials from Beijing and Guangzhou, including Foreign Minister of Beijing, Ambassador to Britain, Ambassador to Belgium and Wang of Guangzhou.

At the meeting, the representative of China proposed to cancel the privileges of the great powers in China, cancel the "Twenty-one" unequal treaty between China and Japan, and return the rights occupied by Germany in Shandong during World War II.

However, the meeting was manipulated by Britain, the United States, France and other countries, ignoring China's reasonable demands and only bringing the Shandong issue into the meeting discussion.

The Peace Conference finally signed a peace treaty with Germany, namely the Treaty of Versailles. Its main content is how the victorious imperialist countries divide up Germany's overseas colonies.

Articles 156, 157 and 158 of the Covenant stipulate that all the rights and interests occupied by Germany in Shandong should be "ceded to Japan", which has been resolutely opposed by the people of China. Strong patriotism led to this * * * movement initiated by students and then developed to all levels of the country.

At the same time, it triggered a variety of new thoughts into China, the most striking of which was the spread of Marxism in China.

192 1 year, 12 people, including * *, held the first national congress in Shanghai, and China was born.

China * * * experienced the Northern Expedition (1924- 1927), the Agrarian Revolutionary War (1927- 1937) and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1937) in the process of leading the people in China to carry out the new-democratic revolution.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, China * * * cooperated with * * * to fight against the invaders and won the Anti-Japanese War.

But in 1945, * * * launched a civil war. After three years of war of liberation, China finally overthrew * * * in 1949.

Experience:

Right direction

First of all, China was able to lead the China revolution to victory because she adhered to the correct direction of combining the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of the China revolution.

This is one of the most basic experiences of the Party.

During the nearly 80 years from the Opium War to the May 4th Movement, the people's struggle against China never stopped.

However, the people of China do not have any ideological weapons to resist imperialism. After the October Revolution, Marxism began to spread widely in China, and the people of China had a new ideological weapon.

Marxism is the scientific world outlook and social revolutionary theory of the proletariat.

Its vitality lies in its close combination with social practice and its ability to open up the way for people to know the truth in practice.

* * * and his comrades-in-arms took a scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts, adopted the working method of the mass line from the masses to the masses, independently thought about and solved China's problems, and combined the universal truth of Marxism with China's revolutionary practice in the long-term revolutionary struggle, thus successfully making it a national style and form that China people understood, accepted and loved.

* * * Thought is the product of combining the universal truth of Marxism with the reality of China revolution, the application and development of Marxism-Leninism in China, the correct theoretical principles and experience summary of China revolution proved by practice, and the crystallization of China's collective wisdom.

The formation and development of * * thought made Marxism–Leninism deeply rooted in China, and was transformed into a great material force for the revolutionary change of China society by the people of China and China.

It can be said that without the correct guidance of * * * thought, there would be no victory of China Revolution.

Correct leadership

Secondly, there would be no new China without China's leadership.

The reason why China people's anti-imperialist and anti-feudal old democratic revolution failed is that in each historical period of revolution, construction and reform, there was no advanced political party like China, who was the vanguard of the working class in China and always represented the development requirements of advanced social productive forces in China, the direction of advanced culture in China and the interests of the overwhelming majority of people in China.

In the new-democratic revolution, China pointed out the goal for the people of China, found the road to victory in the practice of long-term struggle, and United and condensed the people of China, who were regarded as "scattered sand", into a great force that no reactionary force could defeat.

Under the leadership of China, the revolutionary struggle of the people of China has experienced many setbacks and detours, but it has finally won the great victory of the China revolution.

"Without * * *, there would be no new China", which is a scientific conclusion drawn by the people of China according to the historical experience of the modern China revolution and a great truth confirmed by their own personal experience.

A broad United front

Third, the establishment of the broadest revolutionary united front is the foundation of China's revolutionary victory.

The revolutionary object of China's new-democratic revolution is extremely cruel and vicious. At the same time, the proletariat and the landlord and big bourgeoisie account for only a few of the population, and the vast majority are farmers, urban petty bourgeoisie and other middle classes.

Therefore, if the proletariat wants to win the revolution, it must strive for and unite with the broad middle class.

In the process of the new-democratic revolution, China always believed in this point, adhered to the principle of taking the proletariat as the leader and the workers-peasants alliance as the basis in the revolutionary United front, and made the people of all ethnic groups and all walks of life closely unite around him under the banner of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism. After going through hardships and overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles, he finally overthrew the three great mountains that weighed on the people and won the new-democratic revolution in China.

This is another important experience of China's revolutionary victory.

Historical inevitability

Finally, the implementation of the people's democratic dictatorship system in China is the historical necessity of the development of China's revolution.

During the democratic revolution in China, both bourgeois democracy and bourgeois republic tried, but both failed in the end.

Facts have proved that China's new-democratic revolution was successful because people's democracy replaced bourgeois democracy and the People's Republic replaced bourgeois republic. Just as * * * summed up China's experience in leading the revolutionary struggle for 28 years in On the People's Democratic Dictatorship, he pointed out: "To sum up our experience, we can concentrate on one point, that is, the workers and peasants led by the working class (later * * *)." We can rely on the people's democratic dictatorship as a weapon to unite all the people except the reactionaries and move steadily towards our destination. "

This is a profound summary of the experience of China's revolutionary struggle in the past century.
