| After the Opium War in 1840,the Chinese nation and its people that had experienced deep suffering confronted a major practical issue to save the country.It was imperatively historical issues and tasks for them to strive for national independence and people's liberation,and then realize the country's prosperity and people's well-off life.At that time,the old-style peasant war came to an end.the reformist self-improvement movements which did not touch the foundation of feudal rule constantly run into trouble,and the revolution led by the bourgeois revolutionists and other attempts to copy Western capitalism failed in succession.Under the severe circumstance,the "October Revolution" brought us the Marxism-Leninism theory.The Revolution provided early intellectuals with the ""gospel" to explore the country and people,created both social and ideological bases for spreading Marxism,hence making Marxism a new theoretical weapon to save China for those intellectuals.The Communist Manifesto(hereinafter referred to as the Manifesto)began to spread in a systemic and extensive way later in China,which was previously disseminated by people of different political positions through sporadic and fragmentary translation in the early 20th century.Some progressive intellectuals chose Marxism as their belief under the influence of the Manifesto,organized worker-peasant movements and Party building activities with the guidance of Marxism.In such a way,they created a revolutionary path with Chinese characteristics,and provided a new theoretical weapon for a precarious China.What is the reason why Chinese advanced intellectuals firstly adopted the materialist concept of history and idea of class struggle in the Manifesto among various Western doctrines pouring into China at that time,then combined the thoughts manifested in the Manifesto with China's specific national conditions and made further development in China's New Democratic Revolution(1919-1949)?In fact,the result is delivered by a combination of such factors as the intrinsic value of the Manifesto,needs for Chinese society's development and motivation of international communities.The extensive spread of the Manifesto prior to and after the Party building has exerted a significant social effect,demonstrated great vitality of Marxism,showed bright light of truth,and also proved the extensive spread of Marxism in China cannot be prevented by any force."Asked how-the pond water can be so clean.Told from the source fresh water flows in." The Chinese communists gains their power from their firm recognition of the historical mission demonstrated by the Manifesto and guidance of the scientific theories on which the Manifesto expounds.Before and after the founding of the Communist Party of China(CPC),a group of advanced intellectuals gradually transformed into the Marxists under the influence of the Manifesto.They profoundly grasped the Marxist positions,viewpoints and methods,and applied them in a creative manner,conducted research,exploration and innovation to search for answers to major questions in the revolutionary period by combining with the actual situation in China at that time,and formed a series of Chinese Marxist theories.The Manifesto,the first programmatic document in the international communist movement.It is the Manifesto that gives the birth to Communism,so countless people with lofty aspirations have considered the Communism as an unwavering belief and a strong spiritual pillar for communists,and resolutely made efforts to realize the CommunismThe Chinese communists integrated the basic theory of the Manifesto with China's both national conditions and revolutionary realities during the New Democratic Revolution.Revolved around China' s national conditions,on the one hand,they put forward some question,including why the proletarian revolution should be carried out and how to win the revolution.On the other hand,they employed the materialist concept of history and the method of class analysis to analyze classes in the Chinese society,confirmed their positions,distinguished their roles between friends and foes in the revolution,and created the general line of the New Democratic Revolution for a revolutionary path with Chinese characteristics.Therefore,they found the relying force of the Chinese revolution,and creatively proposed the Party's mass line and mass viewpoint in practice.In addition,the Chinese communists represented by Mao Zedong established a new democratic revolutionary theoretical system after going through twists and turns,and finally achieved victory of the New Democratic Revolution,national independence and people's liberation.There exists a scientifically theoretical system with profound significance in the Manifesto though it is short in length,and its basic ideology provides guidance for the Chinese communists to seek for truth,adhere to their beliefs,and realize their great ideals.History and reality have proved that it is indispensable to maintain a scientific attitude towards Marxism,stick to the positions,viewpoints and methods of Marxism,reserve Marxism's essence,integrate Marxism with the masses,strengthen communist ideals,guard against the loss of communist beliefs,and turn over a new chapter for Marxism by advancing with the times.As a result,the sinicization of Marxism can be constantly advanced in practice,and the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics can be promoted through the latest achievements made in the sinicization of Marxism. |
