Since 1840, China has been reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. In order to save China, the Chinese people waged an arduous struggle, especially the Xinhai Revolution led by the Chinese bourgeoisie, which overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty but did not complete the task of thoroughly opposing imperialism and feudalism. Since our party led the Chinese revolution, it has persisted in integrating Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution, blazed a revolutionary path suited to China's national conditions, taken on a completely new look, and won the victory of the new democratic revolution. This is a new path for the Chinese revolution.
What is the new road of the Chinese revolution?This new road has many new characteristics and advantages compared with the previous Western powers, the Soviet revolution and the Chinese bourgeois revolutionary road. It is mainly reflected in the following three aspects:
First, the new path of the Chinese revolution focuses on proceeding from China's national conditions and formulating strategies and tactics suited to the Chinese revolution in accordance with China's unique historical, cultural, and social realities. This enabled the Party to better grasp the characteristics and laws of Chinese society and more accurately formulate a revolutionary line and policy that suited China's reality.
Second, the new path of the Chinese revolution emphasizes the power of the masses of the people. In the revolutionary path of the Western powers and the Soviet Union, the masses of the people were often seen as passive recipients and mere objects of struggle. In the course of leading the Chinese revolution, the Party paid attention to mobilizing and organizing the masses of the people and giving full play to their enthusiasm and creativity. Through the establishment of a broad united front, the Party has successfully mobilized the broad masses of the people to participate in the revolutionary struggle and formed an irresistible historical trend.
Third, the new road of the Chinese revolution also attaches importance to the combination of practical and theoretical innovations. In the course of leading the Chinese revolution, the Party constantly summed up practical experience and explored revolutionary theories and strategies suited to China's characteristics. At the same time, the party also actively absorbed and drew on advanced revolutionary theories and experiences in the world, integrated them with China's reality, and promoted the continuous deepening and development of the Chinese revolution.
In short, the new road of the Chinese revolution is a revolutionary road with Chinese characteristics and in line with China's national conditions. It attaches importance to proceeding from China's national conditions, to mobilizing and organizing the masses of the people, and to combining practical innovation with theoretical innovation. These new characteristics and advantages enabled the Party to better lead the Chinese revolution to victory.
