After the mid-19th century, modern China fell into an abyss of extreme humiliation under the oppression of imperialism and feudal forces. In modern times, China's sovereignty was gradually lost, but in the end it still retained part of its sovereignty and was not completely reduced to a colony. The people are in dire straits. The Chinese nation, which has created an incomparably splendid civilization in human history, has never succumbed to the oppression of evil forces. They have resisted and struggled again and again. However, the peasant movement of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Reform Movement of 1898, which sought to reform and strengthen the country, and the Boxer Rebellion, which originated from the grassroots and had a broad mass base, failed time and time again. Countless people with lofty ideals have resented this for their entire lives.
The great Revolution of 1911, under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen, the forerunner of the democratic revolution, overthrew the autocratic rule of the Qing Dynasty and ended the imperial system. However, the fruits of the revolution fell into the hands of the Beiyang warlords headed by Yuan Shikai, who were favored by imperialism. China was still in an extremely poor and backward semi-colonial and semi-feudal state.
The old China was plagued by disasters and the sky was filled with darkness.
It was Mao Zedong, a historical giant who came out of the countryside of Hunan, who led the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese people to fight against imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism unyieldingly, fought bloody battles, and finally opened a new page in Chinese history.
In the process of leading the Chinese people to seek liberation and prosperity, the enemies of the Chinese revolution were so powerful, but Mao Zedong's art of struggle was so outstanding.
