Features: After the October Revolution of 1917, Marxism began to spread widely in China. A group of advanced intellectuals took the Soviet Union as a model, combining Marxism with the Chinese workers' movement, and established the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Shanghai in 1921. The founding of the CPC was guided and supported by the Communist International (Comintern), with Wu Tingkang as one of the representatives sent by the Comintern. What kind of person was he, and what role did he play in the founding of the CPC? What role did he play in the Great Revolution of China? These questions have not yet been fully clarified in any monograph, but this book explains them. Using declassified archival materials from Russia and combining various other relevant sources, this book employs historical and comparative analysis methods to examine Wu Tingkang's thoughts and actions, as well as their impacts, in the complex relationships among the Comintern, the Kuomintang (KMT), and the CPC on the political stage of the Great Revolution of China.
Chapter 1 discusses Wu Tingkang's first visit to China.
Chapter 2 elaborates on the debates between Wu Tingkang and Martini regarding the cooperation between the KMT and CPC.
Chapter 3 discusses Wu Tingkang's relationship with the Chinese revolution during the initial period of KMT-CPC cooperation.
Chapter 4 analyzes Wu Tingkang's thoughts and actions during the May Thirtieth Movement and the subsequent KMT-CPC disputes.
Chapter 5 discusses Wu Tingkang's thoughts and actions while serving as the head of the Shanghai Far East Bureau of the Comintern.
This book is rich in content, well-documented, and structurally rigorous, making it a valuable reference for research on related issues.
