After the outbreak of the First World War and the October Revolution, Li Dazhao gradually got rid of the influence of various bourgeois and petty-bourgeois social thoughts through constant search and identification, and finally chose Marxism, becoming the first Marxist in the history of China and the pioneer of communism in China.
Li Dazhao enthusiastically praised and publicized the October Revolution in Russia, applied the proletarian world outlook, grasped the historical laws of the development of human society, and published four brilliant documents with keen and original eyes, namely, Comparative View of French-Russian Revolution, Victory of Civilians, Victory of Bolshevism and New Era, which opened the first page of Marxist propaganda in China.
Li Dazhao was the pioneer who first chose Marxism in China.
Li Dazhao was the first Marxist in the history of China, and his name was closely related to the spread of Marxism in China.
With a keen eye, Li Dazhao deeply realized that this revolution would have an epoch-making impact on the world historical process in the 20th century, and also saw the hope of the independence of the Chinese nation and the liberation of the people of China. In the process of propagating the October Revolution, his own consciousness improved rapidly, and he changed from a patriotic democrat to a Marxist, becoming the earliest Marxist communicator in China.
19 19, the great may 4th movement broke out, which was the first uncompromising anti-imperialist and anti-feudal patriotic movement in China's modern history. Comrade Li Dazhao actively participated in and led the May 4th Movement.
During and after this movement, he devoted himself to propagating Marxism and did a lot of work. His "My View on Marxism" published in "New Youth" systematically introduced Marxist theory, which had an important influence on the ideological circle at that time.
