Mao Ze Dong And Hunan Peaceful Liberation

As a great Marxist and proletarian revolutionist, as well as a strategist and theorist, MAO Zedong’s historical contributions are manifold. Among them, the outstanding performance in the Hunan workers’ movement led by Mao Zedong at the beginning of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party wrote a glorious page in the history of the Chinese revolution and workers’ movement.Hunan workers’ movement led by Mao Zedong at the beginning of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party has a very profound historical background. Firstly, in terms of class situation, Hunan early workers have the strong spirit of rebellion and glorious revolutionary tradition. In addition, there is a historic limitation, containing the following aspects, i.e an unstable team of industry workers, a small-scaled team and the mixed thoughts and organizations. Therefore, to lead and carry out the labor movement in Hunan, it is necessary to educate and reform the workers’ thoughts and organizations in a variety of ways.Secondly, in terms of personal conditions, by the eve of the founding, MAO Zedong had grown into a knowledgeable, experienced, and mature professional revolutionist with a firm belief. He has been equipped with the leadership quality, ability and experience needed for the workers’ movement in Hunan. He has certain social prestige in Hunan, even throughtout the whole country. Among them, especially the early activities in the labor movement in Hunan has prepared him for the leadership of Hunan workers’ movement at the beginning of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party. Thirdly, in terms of political background, at the beginning of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, Mao Zedong assumed a dark and bright dual position, i.e. secretary of Hunan branch communist party(after May 1922, he served as committee secretary of Hunan district) and China’s labor secretary, director of the department of Hunan branch(after November 1922, he served as director-general of the trade federation in Hunan province).The main activities of the workers’ movement led by Mao in the early years of the founding of Chinese Communist Party can be roughly divided into the following three stages. The first stage is to organize preparatory stage(1921.8-1922.8), during which MAO has sent several batches of party members and cadres of the League, into the team of industry and handicraft workers and opened night schools to inspire the class consciousness of the mass workers. On this basis, set up workers’ club among the industrial workers and set up trade unions in the handicraft industry in various fields. At the same time, restructure the labor union of Hunan throuth unity and by winning over Huang Ai and Pang Renquan. The second stage is the socialist climax stage(1922.8-1923.1). During this period, according to the unified deployment of central committee of the communist party of China and the department of China’s labor secretary, MAO Zedong carried out the labor legislation movement, thus pulled open the prelude to the first climax of Hunan workers’ movement. He has initiated and led strikes more than 10 times successively, which made the workers’ strike reach a climax for the first time.Among them, Yue-Han railway workers’ strike, Anyuan railroad and mines workers’ strike, Changsha civil workers’ strike and the lead-zinc mine workers’ strike in Mount Shuikou have produced significant effect in the province and even in China, especially Anyuan railroad and mines workers’ strike has become a banner in the high tide of the first labor movement.In order to adapt to the growing situation of strike struggles, Mao Zedong presided and founded Hunan Federation of Trade Union in November, 1922, which realized the unification of the workers’ organizations in the province. The third stage is the stage of continuing to develop(1923.2-1923.4). After “February 7th Massacre”, the national labor movement changed to a low tide. Under MAO’s leadership and organization, however, the workers’ movement in Hunan still continued to develop. On the one hand, he led people from all walks of life in Hunan to launch a campaign to support the Hankou-Beijing railway workers’ strike. On the other hand, he developed a timely battle strategy of shovel-ready for Anyuan workers. Then, MAO Zedong launched a major campaign of taking back Lvshun and Dalian, and sent workers, actually communists, Liu Dongxuan and Xie Huaide back to Bai Guo Township locating in the north of Mount Hengshan to carry out the peasants’ movement, exploring the new revolutionary path.The workers’ movement led by Mao Zedong in the early years of the founding of Chinese Communist Party is of great importance and far-reaching historical significance. First, it changes the conditions of workers in Hunan province, which has improved the class consciousness generally, achieved an unprecedented joint of all organizations and safeguarded the worker ’ basic rights. Second, the experience of leading workers’ movement is accumulated. It mainly includes the establishment and development of party organizations, strengthening the leadership over the workers’ movement, and working with the constitution of Hunan province to do underwork in public. Furthermore, go to the workers with the method of staying close to the masses, put forward the slogan of mourning and touching to try to win the sympathy of people from all walks of life and pay attention to the struggle strategy of strikes to ensure that strike struggle to lead to the final victory. Third, it promotes the progress of the Chinese revolution. One is to cultivate a group of revolutionary leaders and a large number of backbones. The second is to spread the spark of revolution. The third is to provide an important practice base of exploring the revolutionary road with Chinese characteristics for Mao Zedong.
