Sun Yat-sen asked for help, but politely refused and pointed out that his revolutionary path was wrong.
Sun Yat-sen was the leader of the Kuomintang and the commander-in-chief of the Communist Party, did these two historical figures intersect? The answer is yes. In 1922, he visited Sun Yat-sen, but when Sun Yat-sen asked for help, he politely declined.
What's going on?
In the summer of 1922, ** Sun Bingwen and Jin Handing went to the French Concession in Shanghai to pay tribute to Sun Yat-sen, whom they admired. Although Sun Yat-sen had established China, he failed to solve the problem of warlord secession, and the warlords were frequent, and the people's lives were difficult, which made Sun Yat-sen feel troubled.
During the meeting with **, Sun Yat-sen proposed to him that he would return to Yunnan and rebuild the Dian army to defeat the Guangdong warlord Chen Jiongming. However, ** politely refused, saying that he believed that Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary methods were problematic.
He believes that China has been established for 10 years, but the situation of warlord melee has not improved, but the strength of warlords is growing. He believed that in order to solve this problem once and for all, it was necessary to find a completely new revolutionary road.
Therefore, he decided to travel to Europe to see if the revolutionary experience in Europe would help China.
Although Sun Yat-sen agreed with **'s view, he still suggested ** going to the United States, believing that the United States was more advanced than Europe and could help China more. However, ** questioned the nature of the Americans' rulers in the service of the capitalists, and he advocated that one should go to the cradle of communism and learn in order to better serve the common people.
Through these exchanges, we can see that Sun Yat-sen's ideas have not yet shaken off their dependence on capitalism, lack a deep understanding of the power of ordinary people, and still expect the power of the top to change the status quo.
* He is well versed in the struggle for power and profit at the top, and believes that he must break the status quo and find a new way of revolution, such as the "October Revolution" of **. After meeting with ***, ** had a deep understanding of China's path, joined the Communist Party of China, and began a revolutionary career.
He lamented that he used to think that China's poverty and backwardness were the only reason, and perhaps taking the capitalist road could save China, but Germany's experience made him change his thinking, and China needed to change its semi-feudal and semi-colonial social system in order to get rid of poverty and backwardness.
* Firmly chose the communist path, believing that it was the only way to save China. Although he took a different revolutionary path from Sun Yat-sen, he showed deep respect for Sun Yat-sen.
He spoke highly of Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary spirit and believed that in the 40 years of revolutionary struggle, he was always firm and courageous, and was not afraid of difficulties and failures. He was able to regroup the ranks of the revolution after suffering a defeat and continue to fight.
Sun Yat-sen's thinking has also progressed with the changes of history, from the overthrow of the emperor and the establishment of the first to the three major policies of uniting Russia, uniting the Communist Party, and supporting peasants and workers, and then to advocating the realization of world harmony, his revolutionary spirit has always been advancing.
