Features: The evolution of Chen Duxiu's thought is placed within the broader context of the international communist movement of the 20th century, exploring the patterns of his thought and evaluating the value of his later ideas. The relationship between Chen Duxiu and Soviet experience was not only decisive in his later years but also throughout most of his life, shaping his intellectual activities. Therefore, connecting the historical development of the international communist movement and delving into the deeper relationship between Chen Duxiu and Soviet experience is a significant topic in Chen Duxiu studies, whose significance cannot be underestimated. Part of the content of this book includes the two historical periods of Chen Duxiu's thought evolution. The first historical period is the early phase of Chen's democraticism, which served as the early stage of his affirmation. For Chen's early democraticism, this book focuses on grasping Chen's intellectual life from his own perspective, as the author intends to prove that Chen's later thought originated from this phase, which is the source of his later ideas. Therefore, the book does not delve into the other aspects of Chen's early thought, such as its value in cultural and intellectual history. The second historical period of Chen Duxiu is the negation phase closely linked to Soviet experience. In this part, the book takes Chen Duxiu's two reflections as the main thread, focusing on exploring the process of Chen's recognition, reflection, and negation of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Comintern, and Soviet experience. This period played a crucial role in the formation of Chen Duxiu's later thought, so the author cannot help but trace the intellectual journey of Chen Duxiu and thoroughly examine the causes and effects of his development and changes. The second and third parts of this book discuss the later period of Chen Duxiu's thought development, which is the negation of the negation phase following his affirmation and negation stages.
