In 1933, Mao Zedong was in his prime.

Mao Zedong, in his forties, was in a difficult situation.

The Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek concentrated 500,000 troops to launch the fifth major "encirclement and suppression" campaign against the Central Soviet Area. However, Mao Zedong lost his command because he was squeezed out by the "Left" line within the party and the Soviet area soldiers and civilians broke through the enemy's military "encirclement and suppression" campaign. " power, the main thing he shouldered was the heavy burden of resisting the enemy's blockade and developing the economy of the Soviet area. He only had one actual position: Chairman of the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet. In Mao Zedong's own words: "I, a Bodhisattva, was still alive in the past, but I will no longer be alive later."

At this time, the Provisional Central Committee, which had been in Shanghai, was unable to gain a foothold in the central area ruled by the Kuomintang in 1933. In late January of that year, under the leadership of Bo Gu and others who were in charge of the Provisional Central Committee, he moved to Ruijin, Jiangxi Province, and directly led the work of the Party and the Red Army in the Central Soviet Area.

In the autumn of 1933, Li De, a German from the Soviet Union, came to the Soviet area as an international military adviser to the Communist Party. The political dogmatism of Bogu, the "foreign student", and the military dogmatism of Li De, the "foreign imperial envoy", completely rejected Mao Zedong's correct leadership and negated Mao Zedong's strategic and tactical thinking.

Mao Zedong thought in adversity and found a way out for the Chinese revolution. Soon, he came back with his outstanding political and military talents and high sense of responsibility for the Chinese revolution, and finally led the party and the Red Army to get rid of the difficulties caused by dogmatism and embark on a road of hope for the Chinese revolution.

When reviewing that period of adversity at the preparatory meeting of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong said: "I can also be used as an example. The most beneficial thing to me is to call me a 'narrow empiricist' ""There are two attitudes towards those who have been wronged and wronged, and those who have been punished inappropriately and wrongly (such as being labeled as 'opportunists', dismissed from their posts, transferred from their posts, etc.). One attitude is to be negative from now on. , very angry and dissatisfied; the other attitude is to regard it as a useful education and a kind of exercise."

Mao Zedong suffered a cruel struggle and ruthless blow from the "Left" leaders. Not falling into the trap of becoming a high-spirited person, and treating injustice and grievances with a thoroughly materialistic attitude has set an example for Communists.
