A tradition of excellence

Shine a new light in the new era

Stir up the majestic and heroic Chinese spirit

The surging power of China

In 1986, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee issued a document on identifying Shao Piaoping as joining the Communist Party of China in the spring of 1925.

This is a document approved by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee in 1986, and it is impressively written in the document: Comrade Shao Piaoping was recognized as joining the Communist Party of China in the spring of 1925.

Who is Shao Wandering? Why did it take 60 years for him to be recognized as a party member?

He is a special correspondent from Hangzhou's Hermes-Epitek Daily to Hangzhou's Declaration. He is the founder of "Beijing Daily", and has been engaged in journalism for more than ten years, using the pen as a gun, pinpointing the evils of the times, and ruthlessly attacking and whipping ugly phenomena; He was a tutor at the Red House Journalism Research Society of Peking University, and Mao Zedong had audited his courses.

In 1925, Shao Piaoping joined the Communist Party of China, and his introduction to the party was Li Dazhao. Unlike ordinary party members, he was a secret party member and was given "special tasks": propaganda and intelligence. In 1926, Shao Piaoping was martyred, ending his short and brilliant life. This secret member of the Communist Party of China used the pen as a gun and forgot to die, his voice penetrated the dark curtain of the times, and his newsletter became the most powerful testimony of that era.

The founding of the Sino-French University originated from the work-study movement in France in the early 20th century, and has had an important influence on the history of modern Chinese education and Sino-French cultural exchanges. From 1920 to 1950, the university, which was open for 30 years, produced a group of students with patriotic feelings and progressive ideas, many of whom became leading figures in the cultural and educational circles in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the former site of the Sino-French University was opened to the public for the first time in October 2021 after cultural relics restoration and exhibition, with two special exhibitions in the teaching building and auditorium: "The Early Spread of Marxism in China" and "The Glorious History of the Sinicization of Marxism". The exhibition integrates the century-old architecture to comprehensively and systematically display the spread and development of Marxism in China, and makes the important history carried by the former site of the Sino-French University glow with the brilliance of the new era.

Since the publication of the Communist Manifesto, this "booklet" of just over 20,000 words has been translated into more than 200 languages and published in thousands of editions.

More than 100 years ago, the Communist Manifesto came to China and spread rapidly across the country. Countless Chinese Communists have learned from this book what communism is, and have found the path of China's own revolution and liberation in the direction it has guided. To this day, the light of truth of the Communist Manifesto continues to inspire us to move forward.

This book was written by Luo Zhanglong, head of the northern branch of the Secretariat of the Chinese Labor Union, after witnessing the atrocities of the warlords. With a total of 100,000 words, the book is a precious historical material for the study of the history of the Chinese workers' movement, and it is also a true portrayal of the Chinese workers' firm revolutionary will and strong combat effectiveness.

Announcement of the transformation of "New Youth" into a fanzine.

In 1918, a notice was published in the magazine New Youth, "As of Vol. 4, No. 1, the Articles of Submission have been cancelled." That is to say, from 1918 onwards, the magazine no longer solicited manuscripts from the public, and all articles were jointly completed by Peking University professors in the editorial department. From this time on, "New Youth" changed from a local publication centered on Anhui readers to a national publication centered on Peking University. Liberal arts professors at Peking University used this magazine as a carrier to propagate scientific democracy, oppose feudal autocracy, and oppose old morality, setting off an upsurge of the New Culture Movement. In July 1926, the magazine ceased publication. In the long span of 11 years, New Youth has a total of 63 issues and 2,521 articles. The word "socialism" was mentioned 1913 times. In 1945, at the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Comrade Mao Zedong once mentioned: "The May Fourth Movement prepared cadres for the Communist Party of China. At that time, there was the magazine "New Youth", and "some of the people who were alerted by this magazine and the May Fourth Movement joined the Communist Party."
