The Great March in Nanchang Intifada: the Party-led People's Army was born

This is the 81 Nanchang Rebel Memorial Tower in Chang's 81st Square in Jiangxi.

Hero City Nanchang, where the 8-1 Army flag rises.

On 1 August 1927, South Chang City opened the scene of our armed opposition to the reactionaries of the National Party.

At the commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (CPLA), General Secretary Xi referred to “the sound of gunfire in the head of South Chang City” as “a lightning bolt that cuts through the night sky”. What kind of age is behind this lightning?

In 1927, the dramatic revolution failed, the revolution changed dramatically and the Chinese Communist Party and revolutionary masses were brutally massacred. According to statistics from November 1927, the number of party members fell sharply from nearly 58,000 at the time of the party ' s five largest conferences to over 10,000.

The harsh facts show that the Chinese revolution has reached a low level, that the counter-revolutionary power is far greater than the party-led revolutionary power, and that the Communist Party of China is in grave danger of being dismantled and eliminated by its enemies.

How dare you revolution in such a dangerous environment? How can the revolution be maintained? These are two fundamental questions that the Communist Party of China must answer.

In the dark old China, the Communist Party of China bravely raised the flag of the revolution on its own; how to hold on to the revolution, the Communist Party of China has been working hard for a long time in practice. As Comrade Mao later said: “The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people were not intimidated, conquered and killed. They rise from the ground, clean up their bodies and bury their companions' bodies, and they fight again.”

In an extremely critical situation and in order to save the revolution, in mid-July 1927, the newly formed Provisional Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau of the Communist Party (CPC) decided resolutely on three major issues: the concentration of the forces at the disposal and influence of the party in Nanchang and the preparation of an armed uprising; the organization of a better-grounded agricultural-industrial movement to launch an uprising in the autumn; and the convening of a Central Emergency Conference to discuss and determine new approaches after the collapse of the Great Revolution.

This is the old site of the eight-anticipatory general command of eight-one Nanchang (28 July 2017).

In the early hours of August 1, Nanchang, Old City.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. After more than four hours of intense fighting, the Communist Party of China-led rebel forces occupied South Chang City.

Shots were fired at night, and the banners were set on fire. The Nanchang uprising struck the first gun of the reactionary wing of the armed opposition to the National Party, marking the beginning of a revolutionary war led by the Chinese Communist Party, the creation of a people ' s army and the armed seizure of power.

The Secretary-General, Xi Jinping, used three “great events” to evaluate the significance of the Nanchang uprising: “This is a great event in the history of the Communist Party of China, a great event in the history of the Chinese revolution and a great event in the history of the development of the Chinese nation.”

From the arduous struggle of Iyokayama to the long march of great danger, from the battle against Japan and the war against corruption to the war of liberation, from the heroic struggle to defend the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of States to the war against disasters and the security of people's lives and property. Since then, the People ' s Army, led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), has fought heroically for the liberation and happiness of the Chinese people and for the independence and revival of the Chinese nation. The fate of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation is closely linked.

Today, on the Mid-Mountain Road in Nanchang city, visitors to the Memorial Museum of Nanchang, which is made up of the old site of the South Chang Uprising General Command, together with the Chen-Mo building, etc. Since it was opened free of charge in 2008, it has attracted more than 30 million people, both within and outside the sea, to the immersion period.

“A growing number of visitors have travelled to the place where the military flag was raised, to the South Chang-8 Memorial Museum to hear the story of the birth of the People's Army, and to pursue the glory and dreams of the 81st Army.” Zhang Jiang, Deputy Director of the Memorial Museum of Nanchang, said that we would protect the red memory, pass on the red gene, and let the spirit of the revolution shine in the new era.

The party-led People's Army, with its blood and life, is a spiritual monument that stands forever in the river of history and in the hearts of hundreds of millions of nations, and that will always inspire us to move forward and from victory to victory.
