The Localization of Marxism in China concerns China's revolution and construction which is a continuous and endless process and is an important subject.At the beginning of the 20 th century,Marxism began to spread in China.China's advanced intellectuals tried to apply Marxism to guide the Chinese revolution.Thus,the initial Localization of Marxism emerged.Shi Cuntong is an important scholar in the history of the Communist Party of China and a pioneer in exploring the Localization of Marxism in China.From 1920 to 1927,Shi Cuntong made outstanding contributions in the historical process of studying and propagating Marxism and promoting the combination of Marxist theory and Chinese revolutionary practice.Shi Cuntong kept emancipating his mind and thinking deeply,leaving a series of incisive discussions on Marxism and Chinese revolution in the process of exploring the initial Localization of Marxism.Based on this,we can summarize Shi Cuntong's main contents and achievements of the exploration of the initial Localization of Marxism by combing the process of the change of the political thought and the revolutionary practice of Shi Cuntong as well as the background of the New-democratic Revolution in modern China and the existing research results in the current academia.Under the background of saving the nation from subjugation and surging ideological trend,Shi Cuntong left his hometown Jinhua for Hangzhou,Beijing,Shanghai,Tokyo.He put himself into the trend of socialism to emancipate and renewed his own idea constantly.Shi Cuntong believed in Confucianism initially.Then he accepted the Anarchism under the influence of the new trend of thoughts.Finally,he established the Marxist belief and the Communist ideology in July 1921 by the screening of various kinds of socialism,At this time,Shi Cuntong began to explore the application of Marxism in China.On the one hand,Shi Cuntong won a large number of believers for Marxism by publicized and introduced Marxist theories and viewpoints through translation,writing and other means and argued with all kinds of anti-Marxists.On the other hand,Shi Cuntong promoted the combination of Marxist and Chinese revolutionary in the way of participated in the construction and development of the Communist Party of China and the Socialist Youth League of China actively,joined in the mass movement led by the Communist Party of China consciously,participated in the National Revolution against imperialism and feudalism courageously.In this process,Shi Cuntong formed a basic understanding of the Chinese revolution.He proposed that the Chinese revolution should take Marxism as the guiding theory,Communism as the goal and Seizing power as the revolutionary means.In addition,he analyzed the status and role of all social classes in the Chinese revolution,and discussed the scientific attitude towards Marxism.Shi Cuntong's activities above have enriched the content and form of the spread of Marxism in China greatly,promoted the development and expansion of China's Communist organizations effectively.He has made indelible and outstanding contributions to the historical process of the initial Localization of Marxism.Anyway,there are defects and deficiencies in Shi Cuntong's exploration of the initial Localization of Marxism due to the limitations of the time and personality.However,the positive aspect of it is the main one,which does not affect his important historical position in the history of the Communist Party of China,and still gives us important enlightenments.
