"Chen from the south and Li from the north met to build the party." These two great men, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, changed the destiny of the Chinese people at that time. The two main founders of the Communist Party went from serving at Peking University to fighting side by side. Their legendary lives have influenced generations of Chinese people.

Mr. Chen Duxiu is from Huaining, Anhui, and Mr. Li Dazhao is from Laoting, Hebei. "North and South" does not refer to the hometowns of the two gentlemen, but to Shanghai and Beijing, their main areas of activity.

Chen Duxiu was in Shanghai and Li Dazhao was in Beijing. The two wrote their legendary lives in the two most influential cities in China at the time. Chen Duxiu founded "New Youth"

Many people got to know Chen Duxiu through the "May 4th Movement". In fact, before the May 4th Movement, Chen Duxiu was already famous all over the world at that time, and had a great influence on young people in particular. huge.

Chen Duxiu was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. Scholars at that time pursued the lifelong pursuit of testing talents and promoting people. Although Chen Duxiu was selected as a scholar, he particularly hated the imperial examination system. At that time, his mother cried and begged him to take the exam.

In that feudal and superstitious society, Chen Duxiu had different thoughts from other scholars. Although he has always received traditional Confucian education, he has always yearned for democracy and science.

At that time, Chen Duxiu held high the two banners of democracy and science, and was the "weapon spectrum" in the minds of many young people at that time. Almost all young scholars at that time did not know that Chen Duxiu was a "national idol" in today's words.

The "New Youth" he founded had such a great influence. At that time, the young Mao Zedong regarded Chen Duxiu as a role model, and Cai Yuanpei was deeply impressed by him. As soon as Cai Yuanpei took office as the president of Peking University, he "visited the thatched cottage three times" and invited Chen Duxiu to teach at Peking University. Li Dazhao proposed the theory of "Marxism and Socialism"

In that era of oppression by imperialist powers and feudal rule, the Chinese people at that time lived in dire straits, and many promising young people were exploring ways to save the country. .

Mr. Li Dazhao studied in Japan in his early years and attended Waseda University. In school, Mr. Dazhao came into contact with Marxism and socialist theory.

After returning to China, Li Dazhao began to advocate using the "Russian October Revolution" as a blueprint to save the country. Mr. Chen Duxiu's "New Youth" magazine made Mr. Li Dazhao's ideas popular in China.

The two great men later worked together at Peking University. They also led the advanced intellectuals at that time to launch the New Culture Movement and changed the numb and feudal thinking of many young people. Fighting Side by Side

After the May 4th Movement, Chen Duxiu was arrested and imprisoned, and Mr. Li Dazhao escaped by chance. Chen Duxiu was imprisoned by the Beiyang warlords for more than three months. You must know that Chen Duxiu was a well-known star in China at the time. In the end, the Beiyang government could not resist the pressure of public opinion and chose to release him.

After Chen Duxiu was released from prison, he went to Wuhan to promote the socialist revolution. At that time, the warlords in Hubei were frightened and immediately sent Chen Duxiu back to Beijing to prevent him from continuing to "torture" in Wuhan.

After returning to Beijing, the Beijing Police Department heard the news and prepared to arrest Chen Duxiu again. At this time, after Li Dazhao learned the news, he immediately hired a mule cart, dressed up as an accountant, and covered Chen Duxiu in Beijing.

On this mule cart, two contemporary geniuses discussed on the road the creation of a communist party in China. The two people high-fived each other on the mule cart and vowed to create a great cause together.

In this way, in August 1920, Chen Duxiu established the Communist Party of China in Shanghai, and the name "Communist Party" was named by Mr. Li Dazhao.

Finally, I borrowed a famous saying to describe the two of them: "Chen in the south and Li in the north, two big stars, we look up to each other in the long night."
