In June 1960, when receiving a delegation of Japanese literature in Shanghai, Chairman ** said, "Marxism was transmitted earlier in Japan than in China, and Marxist works were obtained from Japan, and (we) learned Marx's political economy from Japanese books."
After the failure of the Wuxu Reform, Chinese people of insight began to learn from Japan, and the first wave to go to Japan were Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao; the second wave of Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, etc.; The third wave was Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu, ** surging and other later communists.
In the past, we used to say that the October Revolution brought Marxism-Leninism to China with the sound of a cannon. But in fact, before the revolution, Marxism had already been introduced from Japan to China. Lenin and the Comintern also attached great importance to Japan at first, and had great expectations for a revolution in Japan, believing that only when a revolution occurred in Japan would it lead China and the entire Far East. However, after the introduction of Marxism to Japan, the early socialists in Japan were punished and punished, because Japan had a richer other soil, that is, fascism.
The first to introduce the Marxist system to China were Chinese students studying in Japan in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China and members of the China League. Among them, "Dai Jitao, Hu Hanmin and Zhu Zhixin are the first batch of Marxists in China" (Qu Qiubai).
Regrettably, for the sake of selfish interests, they and the Kuomintang eventually deviated from their original aspirations, went to the opposite side of Marxism, and became the objects of the Chinese Communists and the Chinese people's revolution.
Li Dazhao, a communist who first propagated Marxism, came into contact with Marxism when he came into contact with the works of Japanese scholar Hajime Kawagami while studying in Japan. ** and so on were also influenced by the writings of Hajime Kawagami.
