Order of red starting point

In the words of Mao Zedong, the birth of the * * * production party in China was "an epoch-making event". Whenever I stroll along Xingye Road in Shanghai, I will look at the "Li Mansion" with blue bricks and red bricks, the birthplace of China's * * * production party. While I am in awe, I am also wondering why there is no detailed description of this "epoch-making event" in the long years.

As a professional writer of Shanghai Writers' Association, I have the advantage of "geographical location" and began to prepare this theme in the winter of 1988.

After I entered the "role", I soon found that the theme was very complicated. At that time, there were many "forbidden zones", especially some important "First National Congress" representatives had different opinions, which led to the fact that no one set foot in this important subject for many years.

When I came to the former site of the "First University" for an interview, their first sentence surprised me: "Your Shanghai Writers Association came again? ! "

I didn't know until I asked. Before me, two old Shanghai writers had paid attention to this important "Shanghai theme" and went to the "First University" for a live interview.

First of all, Yu Ling, the vice chairman of Shanghai Writers Association and an old writer, entered this creative field in the 1950s. The biggest problem he encountered at that time was how to correctly evaluate Chen Duxiu. Chen Duxiu is one of the main founders of China * * * Production Party. Writing about the birth of China's * * * production party cannot "bypass" Chen Duxiu. In 1950s, Chen Duxiu was still wearing such big hats as "Chinese Trotskyite leader" and "Right opportunist leader". It goes without saying that Yu Ling could not write this important "Shanghai theme".

Wu Qiang, the vice chairman of Shanghai Writers Association and an old writer, began to create this important "Shanghai theme" in the 1960s. Wu Qiang encountered the same problem as Yu Ling, but there was another problem: at that time, the Chinese and Soviet parties were having a "big debate", and with the help of * * * Production International and Russian * * * Production Party, the Russian * * * Production Party was established. Although the Soviet Communist Party led by Khrushchev and the Soviet Russia led by Lenin were not the same thing, the subject was still "troublesome" under the situation of the "big debate" between China and the Soviet Union at that time. It goes without saying that Wu Qiang, like Yu Ling, did not write a single work after many interviews.

As a junior, I am far behind Ling and Wu Qiang in terms of creative talent and qualifications. Fortunately, just after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, I advocated the principle of seeking truth from facts on historical issues, which made it possible for me to break into this difficult and long-term creative field.

I visited the Memorial Hall of Zhong Da University again and again and got enthusiastic help. From Shen Zhiyu, who first found this meeting place, to curator Ni, branch secretary Xu Yulin, researchers Chen Shaokang, Chen Peicun, Yu Lebin, Ren, and archivists, they all gave me encouragement and support.

I made a special trip to Beijing to visit the 90-year-old Luo and Wang. I also got great help from Mrs. Xue and her children of Li Shucheng and Mrs. Xie Jinyun of Bao Huisheng. The study of Li Junchen in the Museum of Chinese Revolution has been a "major item" for many years, so I talked for a long time and gave some suggestions. Professor Yang Yunruo of China Renmin University is an expert on the relationship between * * * and China. She was hospitalized due to illness, and her husband, Professor Lin, accompanied me to visit and answered many difficult questions. Professor Li Yuzhen from the Institute of Modern History of China Academy of Social Sciences is an expert in studying Marin, an international representative of * * * *, and also gave me advice.

Of all the representatives of China, Liu Renjing has the least information. I turned to his son Liu Weili, and he answered my questions one by one.

I came to Jiaxing Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall and had a long talk with Yu, the curator. He introduced in detail the closing ceremony of the first National Congress of communist party, China, held in Nanhu.

Zheng, a 90-year-old Shanghainese man and confidential secretary of Chen Duxiu, experienced his early activities in China, especially Chen Duxiu's situation. I visited him many times, and every time he took the trouble to give an answer.

Chen Wangdao's son Chen Zhenxin, Chen Wangdao's great-grandfather, Professor Chen Guanglei from the Chinese Department of Fudan University, Shanghai Geographical Names Office and Sun Shaoxiong, an old employee of the former Dadong Hotel, also helped me.

I have consulted a large number of memoirs, interviews, papers, biographies, archives and other research results of Chinese party history experts. This book is based on the research of experts in the history of the Communist Party of China. Without their careful research, there would not be this book. For example, Shao's papers about China's "First University" have inspired me a lot.

The "First Congress" was held in secret, and there were few files at that time. Although many representatives of China's "First Congress" left memories, most of them were memories many years later. After all, people's memories are limited, so they have different views on many things. In Chen Gongbo's Cold Wind Collection, Marin and Sri Foley (Marin's real name) are even regarded as two people, and there are also many contradictions in Memoirs of Bao Huisheng.

More importantly, because these first representatives of the Communist Party of China later embarked on different roads, their political views were different and their recalled views were obviously different. Generally speaking, it can be divided into three categories: one is the memories of Dong, Li Da and Bao Huisheng who stayed in Chinese mainland later; One is overseas, such as Zhang's memories; The other is the memory of Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fohai becoming traitors. Carefully compare all kinds of memoirs, discard the false and retain the true, delete some people's boasting, and find out some ulterior secrets. This effort to "discard the false and retain the true" takes time, but it is essential. I try to avoid "misunderstanding" and try to make the historical facts of this book accurate, because it describes major historical events; However, sometimes it is difficult to avoid the wrong invasion.

This book adopts a T-shaped structure: the first to sixth chapters describe the cross section of history, that is, 192 1 or so, and the seventh chapter is a vertical line, describing the representative figures of "One Big" and the important figures related to 192 1. In addition, the "end" chapter outlines the course of * * * with thick lines.

This "T" structure is to give the book a sense of depth.

When writing this book, I attended the professional writers' meeting held in Shanghai Writers' Association on February 1990. The relevant leaders conveyed the opinion of the Propaganda Department of Shanghai Municipal Committee: "I hope that professional writers in Shanghai can complete a long story about the first congress of China * * * to celebrate its 70th anniversary." This opinion coincides with my creative plan. Xinmin Evening News quickly reported my creation. In this way, the creation of this book will be tightened.

The first edition of Red Starting Point was published by Shanghai People's Publishing House in 199 1 1 year. At that time, it was on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the birth of China * * * production party, and this book was the only documentary novel about the party building of China * * * production party at that time. Because of this, the publication of this book caused a strong response and entered the top five of the "hot book list". Dozens of newspapers and periodicals have selected, extracted and serialized this novel, including Wen Wei Po, Yangcheng Evening News, Newspaper Abstracts, Newspaper Excerpts, Marine Literature, Democracy and Legal System, and so on. Social science journals serialized the author's interview notes about the red starting point.

1991On June 28th, Shanghai Writers Association and Shanghai People's Publishing House jointly held a seminar on the works of Red Starting Point. Writers, party history experts and critics enthusiastically affirmed this documentary novel.

Professor Yang Yunruo, an expert on the history of the Communist Party of China and the Department of Party History of Renmin University of China, pointed out:

The book "The Red Starting Point" collected a lot of information about the First National Congress, concentrated on solving some vague problems, and made clear the relevant events and figures before the founding of the Party. The book is brilliant, fluent and easy to read, and I almost read it at one go. It is not only an excellent reportage work, but also has high scientific research value. "

Professor Shao, an expert on the history of the Communist Party of China who has devoted himself to the study of the "First National Congress" for many years, pointed out:

"After reading Red Starting Point, I feel fresh. It is indeed a breakthrough to vividly reproduce the history of party building. "

The response of Red Starting Point in Hong Kong and Taiwan was quite unexpected.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, I have published many articles and books, but it is unexpected that the book Red Starting Point can enter the book market in Hong Kong and Taiwan, because it is listed as a gift book for the 70th anniversary of the founding of China. Such donated books were published by Hong Kong and Taiwan Provincial Press in Hong Kong and Taiwan Province respectively.

At first, on July 199 1 day, we celebrated the 70th anniversary of China's * * * production party, and published the preface of the July issue of Ming Pao and the 7th (and 8th) issue of biographical literature of Taiwan Province Province respectively.

Then, Hong Kong printed a Hong Kong version with the neutral title "The Beginning of China".

Then, the Taiwan Province provincial edition used such a sensational but non-political title as "Big Secret".

From The Red Starting Point, The Beginning of China to The Big Secret, it reflects the different perspectives and mentalities of the publishing circles in Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province.

On the cover of the Taiwan Province Provincial Edition, three characters "Big Secret" are printed in red, and next to the title, "The Truth of the Country, Military and Political Secrets" are also printed. Above the cover, there is a striking sentence: "Expose the origin of the political struggle between countries in the past 70 years!"

Such a novel full of mystery is actually the starting point of red!

Considering that The Red Starting Point is a highly political book, when I signed a contract with Hong Kong and Taiwan Press, I stated that if there are any changes, I must obtain the author's consent in advance. The other party keeps its promise. In addition to changing the title of the book, the text didn't change a word, except deleting the original preface "I would like to dedicate this book to the 70th birthday of China * * * Production Party" and writing a preface suitable for readers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The abstract of Taiwan Province Province Edition was written by a publishing house in Taiwan Province Province and printed on the cover. Although the wording is written from the commercial point of view of Taiwan Province Province, it is generally acceptable:

"15 young people with bare hands have completely changed the fate of modern China people!"

"For the long history of China, the period from 192 1 to 3 1 is really unusual.

A week. This week is the "red starting point" in China's modern history. "

"Although 15 delegates who attended the first congress in the Communist Party of China (CPC), their life paths were different after leaving the big dining table of Li Mansion. Some people become steel, others become slag. However, in 70 years, China's * * * production party has grown from more than 500,000 party member to more than 48 million party member today. * * * is not only the largest party in China, but also the largest party in the world. China's * * * production party party member accounts for more than half of the world's * * * production party party member!

"Seventy years ago, the' First Congress' held in Li Mansion, the French Concession in Shanghai was attended by only 15 people, but it had a far-reaching impact ..."

This summary is not easy to read, and moving to the mainland version is not bad!

A Korean publishing house is going to publish the Korean version of Red Starting Point. They say that South Korea wants to establish diplomatic relations with People's Republic of China (PRC), because the Chinese Communist Party is the ruling party in People's Republic of China (PRC), so for the Korean people, to understand People's Republic of China (PRC), we must first understand the Chinese Communist Party, and to understand how the Chinese Communist Party was born, we need to read the red starting point.

After the first edition of The Red Starting Point was published, I revised and supplemented it many times, which made this book meet readers with a brand-new look.

20 13 1, the English version of Redorikin was published by marchat Vic Publishing House.

Then, in 20 13, DemandGlobal, an American global publishing company, published Red.

The starting point of "French DEPOINTDEDEPDRTROUGE".

This time, I revised and supplemented The Red Starting Point again, which was published by Sichuan People's Publishing House and Huaxia Publishing House.
