Chen Tanqiu’s Mass View And Its Contemporary Value

As a great Marxist,an outstanding proletarian revolutionist and a pioneer of Hubei communist movement,Chen Tanqiu’s advanced deeds,especially in safeguarding the core interests of the masses,mobilizing the masses to carry out the grain protection movement,and stimulating the masses to consciously learn cultural knowledge,left a brilliant page in the history of Chinese revolution.This paper is based on this to carry out the whole writing work,combing Chen Tanqiu’s personal experience,social background and the characteristics of the new democratic revolution,analyzing the theoretical source of Chen Tanqiu’s mass view,discussing and summarizing the main content of Chen Tanqiu’s mass view,and analyzing the main characteristics and contemporary value of Chen Tanqiu’s mass view.Since modern times,countless people with lofty ideals have been trying to find a way out for China’s future,but the result is not so satisfactory;It was not until the introduction of Marxism and the establishment of the Communist Party of China that the Chinese social revolution had a scientific guiding ideology and a firm core of leadership.As a people’s theory,Marxism’s most dazzling view is that "the people are the driving force of historical progress and the decisive force of historical change".Such a mass view of "people first" is like the twinkling stars in the night sky.Chen Tanqiu,as a pioneer of the spread of Marxism,not only accepted and recognized this mass view ideologically,but also practiced and carried forward this mass view in combination with the actual situation of the revolution at that time.First,we should give full play to the strength of the masses in the work of people’s livelihood.In practice,we should give full play to the main force of the masses,close the relationship between the party and the masses,and stabilize the party’s position in the hearts of the masses.Second,mobilize the initiative of the masses in the reform of education.The purpose of reforming education is to wake up the people.In this process,the most important thing is to call on the people to actively participate,so as to mobilize the people’s subjective initiative,which is the key to realize the goal of reforming education.Third,make good use of the power given by the masses in Party building.Since the Communist Party of China always represents the broad masses of the people,it is necessary to make good use of the power given by the masses,always put the masses in the first place,and handle affairs for the masses in a down-to-earth manner,so as to make the masses feel at ease.Fourth,we should strengthen the core interests of the masses in the revolutionary struggle.In the industrial and agricultural movement,we should always pay attention to the position of the masses,coordinate the interests of the masses,and build the core interests of the masses.Finally,combined with the current situation of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era,enrich and develop the mass theory of Marxism in China,provide guidance and reference for the CPC to carry out the party’s mass line,and help the smooth implementation of the national "fourteenth five year plan".
