Features: "Reminiscences of the Double Mountains," written by Wang Fansi, who early joined the Communist Party of China (CPC), studied at the Moscow Sun Yat-sen University (East University), and was expelled from the party in 1930. During his time studying in the Soviet Union in the mid-1920s, the author joined the Trotskyist opposition. After being deported back to China in 1929, he engaged in opposition activities within the party. Throughout his life, the author believed that the struggle between Stalin and Trotsky in the early days of the Soviet Communist Party, the truth was on Trotsky's side; Stalin's Great Purge and brutal struggles were incompatible with scientific socialism. The collapse of the Soviet model in the 1990s was not the failure of socialism, and it is essential to distinguish between Stalinism and genuine socialism.
