Research On Shandong Youth Movement Under The Leadership Of The Communist Party Of China (1931-1949)

As an important part of the National Youth Movement and the Shandong Revolutionary Movement,the vigorous development of the Shandong Youth Movement from 1931 to 1949 was not an overnight historical accident,but a historical inevitability under the combined effect of the social situation and the leadership of the party.This article takes the Shandong Youth Movement under the leadership of the party as the research object,through systematically combing the historical process and development context of the Shandong Youth Movement,clarifying the development and changes of the party’s youth movement policy during the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation,and recreating the interactive relationship between the Chinese Communist Party and Shandong Youth Movement,in-depth summary of its characteristics and historical experience.During the War of Resistance Against Japan,the Communist Party of China actively adapted to changes in the situation and promptly changed its policies for youth work.In view of the different characteristics of the local and all-round stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan,it promoted the main force of the Shandong Youth Movement from young students to young workers and peasants,and the sports center moved from the city.In the countryside,the mode of movement changed from strikes and demonstrations to direct and indirect operations against Japan.At the same time,the Shandong Communist Youth League was transformed into a “non-party and broad mass” youth organization,and a broad youth anti-Japanese national united front was established in Shandong.Under the leadership of the party,the Shandong Youth Movement rose from a low ebb,carried out base construction under a severe struggle environment,smashed the Japanese and puppet troops "mopped up",and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.Compared with the general mobilization model under the united front during the Anti-Japanese War,the youth work carried out by the Communist Party of China in the Shandong Liberated Area during the War of Liberation was more targeted on a broad basis.In order to meet the needs of taking over the new liberated areas and consolidating the old liberated areas,the Communist Party of China first distinguished the tasks of the youth movement in the old and new liberated areas,and clearly stated that in the old liberated areas,it is necessary to continue to uphold and carry forward the glorious tradition of the youth movement,and consolidate and develop youth semi-armed organizations;In the newly liberated small and medium-sized cities,it is necessary to establish a youth united front to broadly unite and actively strive for intellectual youth;in the newly liberated rural areas,it is necessary to improve the lives of working youths and actively mobilize youth to participate in anti-rape complaints and rent and interest reduction campaigns.Various mass mobilization activities were carried out on the basis of grasping the characteristics of the youth,which greatly united the youth.Under the effective and strict leadership of the Communist Party of China,the majority of Shandong youth opened up a second front in the Kuomintang Controlled Area and carried out the land reform movement in the liberated area.At the same time,they enthusiastically signed up and joined the army,which greatly promoted the victory of the War of Liberation.Therefore,in-depth summarization of the valuable experience of the Party’s leadership of the Shandong Youth Movement at this stage,inheriting and carrying forward the revolutionary enthusiasm and patriotic traditions of Shandong youths at this stage,is important for doing the Party’s youth work in the new era and realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation important meaning.
