May Fourth

Today is Fourth of May, 87 years before uni students started a revolution to force the government stop to signing quislism agreement with other countries, and it was an anti-imperialist, cultural, and political movement in early modern China. It started with uni students in Peking but all patriots in different class and different areas of China joined them later. The movement grew out of dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles settlement and the effect of the New Cultural Movement.

The May Fourth Movement was a thoroughly anti-imperialist and anti-feudal
revolutionary movement. Young students acted as its pioneers. The Chinese
working class went up on the political stage, and functioned as the main force
in the later period of the movement. Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu and other
intellectuals directed and promoted the development of the movement, and played
leading roles in it. On the local level, future Communist Party leader Mao
Zedong rallied opposition against Hunan's warlord Chang Ching-yao.
The
May Fourth Movement covered more than 20 provinces and over 100 cities of the
country. It had a broader popular foundation than the Revolution of 1911. Its
great contribution lay in arousing the people's consciousness and preparing for
the unity of the revolutionary forces.
The May Fourth Movement promoted the
spreading of Marxism in China, and prepared the ideological foundation for the
establishment of the Communist Party of China. The October Revolution pointed
out the direction for the Chinese revolution. The May Fourth Movement, which
took place after the October Socialist Revolution, was a part of the world's
Proletarian Revolution.
