Mao Zedong, December 1925
[B]Independent of the cold autumn, the Xiangjiang River is going northward, at the head of Orange Island.
Look at the ten thousand hills covered with red and the forests dyed with color;
The river is full of blue and a hundred barges are competing with each other.
The eagle strikes the sky, the fish flies to the bottom,
The ten thousand kinds of frosty sky competes for freedom.
Desponding to the lonesome, I ask who is in charge in the vast expanse of the earth?
Bringing together a hundred couples who have traveled before,
Remembering the great days of the past.
The students are young and full of vigor;
The students are full of energy and ambition.
The students are young and full of vigor.
They are the most important of all.
They are the most important of all.
They are the most important of all.
Have you ever remembered, to the mid-stream to hit the water, waves curbing the flying boat? [/B]
The southernmost tip of Orange Island is the 3,000-square-meter "Chau Tau Square," which has an eye-catching fan-shaped "Ask the Sky Terrace,"
which is meant to be the place where Mao Zedong, 32 years old, issued his "Ask the Sky Terrace," which is the place where he asked the question, "Who is the master of the world? Who is the master of the earth?
Mao Zedong praised the autumn, is a kind of "all kinds of frost in the sky competing for freedom" of the autumn, "mountains," "forests," "rivers," "barges" and "boats. "" Barge """ Eagle """ Fish "" the nature of the "" ten thousand kinds "", all "" in this "" frosty day "". In this "frosty sky" in the "competition for freedom", free and easy, get what they want. "Though all kinds of many, only in people and the most spiritual." What about the people who are the spirit of all things? They are not free! So the poet for the "despair of a few silhouettes", in this "few silhouettes" of the fall, the poet Mao Zedong's despair like the autumn as "few silhouettes", in the face of the freedom of the "ten thousand kinds" and not free. The poet Mao Zedong's despondency is as "sparse" as the fall, and in the face of the free "all kinds" and the unfree human beings, he can't help but be like the "heavenly question" of Qu Yuan: "Who is the main sinker in the vast expanse of the earth?
When Qu Yuan asked the question, he waited for the answer from the sky. But when the poet asked the question, the answer was clear, that is: they are in the prime of life of the scholar, will arouse the people to dominate the sinking and floating. Because the revolutionary situation at that time was not very clear, so the poet was "disappointed and frustrated".
Why didn't Mao mention the country and the people in his opening poem?
In fact, the "question of the vast expanse of land" is not a question of the Republican government and the people of the world on the poor and weak Chinese soil!
Mao Zedong because he could not "compete for freedom" and "despair" for it, is not my country and people who are not free? The poet's love of the country, worry about the country, the country's sentiment, and the ancient and modern aspirants and generations of young poets who sang generously is the same lineage, and with the development of the times injected a new spirit of the times.
"Dung soil in the year of ten thousand vassals", this sentence is very interesting.
Throughout the ages, most of the young poets have aimed for the title of "Wandou Hou".
Patriotic poet Lu You "when ten thousand miles to find feudal lords, horse garrison Liangzhou";
Southern Song Dynasty outstanding lyricist Liu Kezhuang drunkenly still exclaimed "so that General Li met the high emperor, ten thousand vassals is not enough to say!"
Mao Tse-tung used this to express a complete break with the old forces of tradition and custom and the old world of glorifying emperors and generals.
In 1923, Sun Yat-sen was determined to reorganize the Kuomintang at the urging of Soviet advisers and Chinese ****producers.
In January of the following year, the KMT held its first national congress with the participation of ****producers.
At the meeting, a large number of C**** members, including Mao Zedong, Qu Qiubai, and Dong Biwu, not only openly joined the KMT, but many of them were also elected as members of the Central Executive Committee. The ins and outs of Mao's being both a member of the Central Executive Committee and the propaganda minister of the KMT Central Committee are little known to this day. What did Mao Zedong, the KMT's propaganda minister, do in 1923?
Introducing Mao to the KMT, in addition to organizational arrangements, his mentor Yi Peiji also played an important role. Yi Peiji was born in Changsha, Hunan province, in 1880 and graduated from the Hubei Dialect Academy (the predecessor of Wuhan University) before returning to Changsha to serve as the principal of Hunan's first teacher training center.
Then Yi Peiji served twice as the chief education officer of the Beiyang government, and was close to Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu. It was he who introduced Mao Zedong to Beijing. When Li Dazhao was killed, Yi Peiji was also wanted by the Beiyang warlord government and had to take refuge in the rented area.
Wang Jingwei was the right-hand man of Sun Yat-sen, and Yi Peiji was a close friend of Wang Jingwei. When Wang assisted Sun in reorganizing the Kuomintang, Yi recommended his favorite student Mao Zedong to Wang. In the end, Mao Zedong, who was a quick thinker and a good writer, was not only included in the list of central executive committee members, but also given the pivotal position of propaganda minister of the KMT Central Committee.
In 1917, the victory of the great October Socialist Revolution in Russia opened a new era in history. Inspired and influenced by the victory of the October Revolution, the birth of the Chinese ****production party in 1921 brought hope to the disaster-stricken Chinese people.
Sun Yat-sen saw the light in despair. With the help of the ****products international and the Chinese ****products party, Sun Yat-sen began a great transformation, and actively carried out the work of reorganizing the KMT.
From January 20 to 30, 1924, the First National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT), which centered on reorganizing the KMT, was held in Guangzhou. Dr. Sun Yat-sen resolutely accepted the ideas put forward by the Chinese ****productivist party regarding the Chinese revolution. The congress established the three major policies of "alliance with Russia, alliance with ****, and support for agriculture and labor". The Congress established the overthrow of imperialism and warlords as the goal of the revolution, and formed a united front with the CPC against imperialism and feudalism. It also passed a resolution recognizing members of the ****production party and the Socialist Youth League to join the Kuomintang on an individual basis.
On the 31st, the first plenary session of the first KMT Central Committee was held to elect the executive members of the Central Executive Committee as well as to determine the candidates for ministers of the central ministries.
On the question of the selection of the head of the propaganda department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, which was determined at this meeting, Mao Tse-tung talked to Snow in 1936, saying: Soon after I arrived in Guangzhou, I became the head of the propaganda department of the Kuomintang and an alternate member of the Central Committee.
Based on this self-reporting by Mao Tse-tung, many writings in China have recorded that Mao Tse-tung was the Minister of Propaganda of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang.
Mao Zedong's Annals records that the first plenary meeting of the first session of the KMT's Central Executive Committee and Supervisory Committee, held on January 31, 1924, decided to set up a central body to form the Central Party Department of the KMT; it also decided to send members of the Central Executive Committee to special districts, such as Shanghai, Peking, and Hankou, to organize the executive departments and to guide and supervise local party affairs. Mao Zedong was sent to the Shanghai Executive Department.
