The "October Revolution" brought Marxism to the dark land of China at that time. Advanced Chinese revolutionaries found that among various ideas and theories, only Marxism-Leninism revealed the laws of development of human society, provided the theory of social revolution against imperialism and colonialism that China urgently needed, and provided the correct way to organize revolutionary parties. So, a group of passionate young people and wise men resolutely chose Marxism-Leninism and the path of the October Revolution. But the waves wash away the sand. Some of them persist in their faith until the end of their lives, while others stop halfway, and some go against their original intentions.
The story of "Southern Chen Bei Li" meeting to establish the party is already familiar, so I won't repeat it. In the 100-year history of the Party, few people mentioned the original group of young people. Who are they and what is their ending?
Today's historical conclusion has a saying that before the First Congress of the Communist Party of China, communist groups had been established in various places. (Note: In fact, the term communist group was named after the time of recording and writing party history. At that time, it was not unified. For example, in Beijing, the first three-person organization of Li Dazhao, Zhang Guotao and Zhang Shenfu was first named "Communist Group". Before the First Congress, with the increase of personnel, it was renamed "Communist Party Beijing Branch", etc. In addition, the earliest group members recorded today were not complete. In many of today's party history discussions, the "early party organization" has been replaced by "communist group"), and in the dark night of , the sparks were beating from beginning to beginning.
