In 1918 there were several important events in China:
1.May Fourth Movement: The May Fourth Movement of 1918 was one of the most important events in modern Chinese history. The movement, which began as a student campaign in Beijing, began as a shamper against China's interests in the Treaty of Versailles and evolved into an outright challenge to imperialism, feudalism, and capitalism. The May Fourth Movement marked the rise of China's New Culture Movement, which called for democracy, science, nationalism, and emancipation of the mind, and had a profound impact on Chinese politics and society.
One of the student leaders of the May Fourth Movement named Chen Wangdao gave impassioned speeches during the movement, inspiring thousands of students to take to the streets. Chen Wangdao, a student at Peking University, gave a speech on the theme of passion and criticism, calling on students to unite and fight for the good of the country. His speech inspired patriotic feelings among the students and he became one of the important figures in the May Fourth Movement.
2.China's New Culture Movement: The May Fourth Movement also marked the rise of China's New Culture Movement. The New Culture Movement was a movement of ideological emancipation and cultural change, aiming to promote the modernization and democratization of Chinese society. The movement advocated the ideas of democracy, science, freedom, equality, and advocated vernacular literature and modern literature, which had a profound impact on Chinese culture and society.
One of the exponents of the New Culture Movement was Lu Xun, a great writer and thinker who worked to promote cultural change in China. Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" caused a sensation in the New Culture Movement, and through **form**, all kinds of shortcomings and decay of traditional Chinese society were revealed. This ** became one of the masterpieces of the New Culture Movement, influencing generations of Chinese and stimulating their desire for social change.
3.Founding of the Communist Party of China: In 1918, the Communist Party of China was officially established in Shanghai. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people experienced a long period of revolutionary struggle and finally established New China. The founding of the Communist Party marked the beginning of a new stage in the Chinese revolution and laid a solid foundation for China's future.
The founding of the Communist Party of China was closely related to the secret organizations and activities of some revolutionaries. In a small room in Shanghai's French Concession, a group of young people held a secret meeting to discuss the future of the Chinese revolution. These young people included Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu, and in the end, after discussion and consultation, they decided to establish the Communist Party of China to fight for the cause of China's liberation.
Together, these events formed an important historical background for China in 1918 and had a profound impact on China's political, social and cultural development.
