Explore And Analyse The Chinese Communist Party(CCP)’s City Work During The New Democratic Revolution Period

Chinese Communist Party has adopted different strategic measures in different stages during the period from its establishment to final victory in the War of Liberation. The focuses of work are also accordingly different, which change between the city and village on the basis of the situation. City is the birthplace of our party and the cradle of early Labor Movement. At the beginning of the establishment of our party, Marxism Ideology was widely spread in the city, which provided theoretical basis for the establishment of the party. In the city, The early communist party leaded the working class to carry out the Labor Movement, fight against imperialism and Feudal warlords. So city is the main focus of Communist Party’s work. In the late Great Revolution, under the oppression of Nationalist Party, City-Central Theory, insisted by Communism Party in the early time, has caused severe lost of revolution force. In the later Agrarian Revolution period, the party began to adjust working strategy by changing the working focus from city to village. Our party adopted a new correct way: surrounding the cities from the village, and seizing power by armed forces. In this climate, city work has been endowed with a new request, in which contacting with the masses is the priority. And then city work resumed gradually. In the anti-Japanese War period, Communism Party paid more and more attention to city work. Our party enlarged the influences between workers, intellectuals and students. The establishment of the whole national anti-Japanese united front played an important role in winning the final victory. During the period of Liberation War, our party removed the main working focus to city. City became the center of policy, economy and culture. With powerful heavy industry and military industry, focusing on city work played a vital role in winning the victory of Liberation War.United Front is one of our party’s three magic weapons to achieve revolution victory. During the New-Democratic Revolution period, the main working focus of United Front was big cities, in which Communism Party and Nationalism Party began their first cooperation, and situation came into a good period: the rapid development of Northern Expedition, Worker and Peasants Movement, anti-imperialist struggle and so on. United Front makes an important contribution to the victory of anti-Japanese war. After this war, not only workers and peasants, but also petty bourgeoisie, national bourgeoisie, enlightened gentries and other democratic personages kept together with communism party, forming The people’s democratic united front against Nationalism Party, which speed up the victory of Liberation War.According to the whole history development of the Democratic Revolution period, our party assessed the specific revolution situation, and adopted different policy at different stages. The revolution started in the city, turned to the village, then turned back to the city as the center, and achieved last victory of the Liberation War finally. Reviewing the New-Democratic Revolution history, we can see that city working played an indispensable role to our party. Specific policy measures of city working still have many effects on contemporary city construction.
