Historic Achievements of the CPC

Beginning in 1921, despite the low number of individuals who were intent on pulling China out of the chaos following the downfall of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), while at the same time being hounded by the then authorities who suppressed everything that had a communist label, the leaders of the CPC had not been diverted from their mission, namely, improving the people’s livelihood and accomplishing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation from the previous “century of humiliation.”

When excluded from positions of influence by the Nationalist Party of China, known as Kuomintang (KMT) in China, with which it had been in alliance, and chased out of its political base in Jiangxi Province by the army of Chiang Kai-shek (leader of the KMT) in 1934, the Red Army led by the CPC proceeded on its 7,800-mile “Long March” to a safe mountainous area in Shaanxi Province in northwestern China, an achievement unprecedented in military history. From there, the Party began their war of resistance against Japanese aggression long before the KMT government showed any will to resist.

With their limited supply of heavy arms but strong support from the people, the CPC led a successful campaign of guerrilla warfare against the Japanese forces. Their success was attested to by many visitors, including Americans like journalists Edgar Snow and Anna Louise Strong, and U.S. Marine Major Corps general officer Evans Carlson, who visited them.
