It is worth mentioning that at the end of 1923, the Chinese Youth Party aimed at opposing communism was established in Paris. Its main initiators are Zeng Qi, Li Huang, Zuo Shunsheng and others, who are also members of Junior China. They set off a "wake up lion" movement that swept the whole country, and in just one year, it spread in more than a dozen provinces and dozens of cities, and had more than 10,000 members inside and outside.
Containing the Communist Party and competing with the branches of the Communist Party for membership was precisely the persistent organizational strategy of the Chinese Youth Party.
Whether in France or at home, the core figures of the Chinese Youth Party, "Zeng (Qi), Zuo (Shunsheng), and Li (Huang)", and the early core figures of the Chinese Communist Party, such as Zhou Enlai, Li Dazhao, Yun Daiying and others, never stopped the controversy of political views. In France, Zhou Enlai and others had the semi-monthly magazine "Chiguang" as their position; Zeng Qi and others founded the weekly newspaper "Xiansheng"; and after the two sides returned to China at about the same time, Zeng Qi and others founded the weekly newspaper "Awakening Lion" to counter the CCP's organ publication, "Chinese Youth.".
In 1925, yun daiying, Deng Zhongxia, and Yang Xianjiang, three members of the Youth Middle School who represented the direction of "Left", visited Three Leaders of the Chinese Youth Party, Zeng Qi, Zuo Shunsheng, and Chen Qitian, who were also members of the Youth Middle School.
At Zuo Shunsheng's apartment, they discussed each other's political views, and Yun Daiying, Deng Zhongxia, Yang Xianjiang, Zeng Qi, Zuo Shunsheng, and Chen Qitian "debated from morning until late at night... Scattered in the middle of the night."
According to Fang Dongmei, a member of the society, "If there was a pistol at that time, I was afraid that it would have been bloodied into a river." Before parting, Deng Zhongxia shook goodbye to Zeng Qi and others, saying "Goodbye to the battlefield with the kings."
At this point, the Young Chinese Society automatically disbanded and withdrew from the stage of history.
The reasons for the disintegration of the Young Chinese Society are multiple, not only their own ideological differences, different social choices, but also related to the stimulation of the external environment, and at the same time, the geographical location of the members also determines their behavior orientation.
On April 1, 1920, Wang Guangqi and some members of the Young Chinese Society traveled to Europe on a French steamer in Shanghai. Wang Guangqi studied in Germany and was the first Chinese musicologist to receive a doctorate in the West.
Writings of Wang Guangqi
In the face of a rapidly changing era and a strong sense of political persecution at home, the tradition of Chinese intellectuals who have been applied to the world is easily activated.
After his initial acceptance of socialism and Marxism, Li Dazhao was influenced by the English translation of Trotsky's War and Socialism, Bolsheviks and World Peace, and was excited by the internationalist spirit of the Bolshevik leaders and their expectations for the coming world revolution.
With the help of the Comintern and the impetus of realpolitik, Li Dazhao quickly transformed himself into a complete Marxist, and in March 1921 he published an article entitled "The Cause of Group Training and Innovation", indicating that he no longer pinned his hopes on the student groups since the May Fourth Movement, and openly proposed to organize a political party of civilians and laborers to lead the popular movement and seek a thorough reform of China. And it is believed that the aim of socialism is to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat, abandoning the general ideals of humanity, freedom and fraternity of the past.
The founder of the Young Chinese Society, Wang Guangqi, is far overseas, and the other founder, Li Dazhao, has also shaken off the purpose and creed of the Young Chinese Society.
The Young Chinese Society, which lost its helmsman and split, was finally rapidly marginalized in the torrent of history and finally disintegrated.

The Young China Society finally disintegrated, and the "Young Communist Party of China" in Europe is now booming. This Chinese political force in Europe at that time was an important branch of the Chinese Communist Party.
The "Young Communist Party of China" was the predecessor of the "Chinese Communist Youth League", and many of the members of the "Young Communist Party" at that time became the earliest members of the COMMUNIST Party and became the backbone of the Communist Party of China that influenced Chinese history.
The cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists allowed them to begin political and military careers.
