The formal formation of the first KMT-CCP cooperation was marked by the successful convening of the First National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang. The congress was held in Guangzhou from January 20 to 30, 1924, marking the completion of the reorganization of the Kuomintang and the formal formation of the first KMT-CCP cooperation.
The following are some important backgrounds and processes of the first KMT-CCP cooperation:
1.Background of the cooperation between the KMT and the CCP:
China was then a semi-colonial, semi-feudal country, oppressed by imperialism and feudal warlords.
In order to achieve national independence and the liberation of the people, the Chinese people of all strata have waged heroic struggles and gradually awakened and united.
After the founding of the Communist Party of China, in order to defeat imperialism and feudalism, it cooperated with the Kuomintang for the first time and established the National Revolutionary United Front.
2.The process of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party:
In the process of reorganization, the Kuomintang led by Sun Yat-sen followed the example of the Soviet Union for reform.
In September 1922, Sun Yat-sen convened the first reorganization meeting of the Kuomintang, and appointed nine people, including Chen Duxiu, a member of the Communist Party, to form a drafting committee for the improvement of the Kuomintang to revise the party program and general constitution.
In January 1923, Sun Yat-sen issued the "Declaration for the Improvement of the Chinese Kuomintang", promulgating the party program and general chapter, and announcing the list of cadres of the Kuomintang headquarters, of which Chen Duxiu, a member of the Communist Party, was the senator of the headquarters.
In January 1924, the First National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang was successfully held in Guangzhou, officially marking the completion of the reorganization of the Kuomintang and the formation of the first KMT-CCP cooperation.
The formation of the first KMT-CPC cooperation was not only the common need of the KMT and the CPC to oppose imperialism and feudal warlords, but also the need of the two parties for their respective development. This cooperation laid the foundation for the development of the Chinese revolution and laid a solid foundation for subsequent cooperation.
