Features: In 1927, the reactionaries led by Chiang Kai-shek exposed their true nature in the bloody suppression of the Communist Party. Faced with the chaotic and perilous situation, the Communists responded resolutely with revolutionary armed forces against the counter-revolutionary armed forces. The Guangzhou Uprising led by figures such as Zhang Tailei, Ye Ting, Zhou Wenyou, and Ye Jianying was such a response. During the uprising, workers, peasants, and revolutionary soldiers seized the provincial headquarters of the Guomindang and military and police institutions, raising the banner of the Soviet government amidst the blazing fire and blood. It lasted only two days before being destroyed by the frenzied counterattack of the reactionary troops with cannons. However, the revolutionary heroism and idealism that burst forth in the brief moment in the course of history shine with an eternal charm, deeply integrating into the historical veins of China in a sublime and tragic manner.
