The Formation and Development of Chen Tanqiu's Marxist view on the Eve of the Great Revolution

When it comes to marxist theory of china, from its germination to development, and to maturity, its process had been very tortuous. Under the dual oppression of imperialism and feudalism, the early Chinese advanced intellectuals and democratic revolutionaries launched an anti-imperialist and anti-feudalism movement. The 1911 Revolution successfully overthrew the Manchurian government and the feudal autocratic monarchy of more than two thousand years. However, because Yuan Shikai had usurped the fruits of the victory of 1911’s revolution, the revolution ended in failure. In order to save the Chinese society full of sores, the early communists represented by Chen Tanqiu on the eve of the Great Revolution made great contributions to the spread of Marxism. The historical date of Chen Tanqiu’s Marxism viewpoints on the eve of the Great Revolution are collected and sorted a this paper, which lays a certain theoretical foundation for us to comprehensively understand Chen Tanqiu’s Marxism viewpoints during the Great Revolution.
