The Communist party was affecting everyone’s way of life. They didn’t support the communist party, but it was only a matter of time before they would take over. Chen’s beliefs were influenced by her family and by her own ideas. Unfortunately they weren’t able to hold the communist army off and eventually the communists took control of China.Įven though now that the communist party ruled over China, there were still many Chinese who appealed the new government system and started their own revolutionary groups.

They wanted to be free men and women who weren’t controlled by the communist party.
” (Dragon16) The people were fighting the new ideas, because they didn’t want to be controlled under this communist party they boasted was so great. Inside the city, police and army patrols kept order and a curfew was imposed from dark to early dawn. Their army dug itself into trenches before the city. The Guomindang generals left in charge of Shanghai declared that they would defend the city to the death. Shanghai at the time was a major city not influenced by communism yet and as Chen states many Chinese wanted to keep it that way. The resistance stood though and many Chinese who didn’t believe in the communist ideas fought for their beliefs and their country. Communism wasn’t loved throughout China at the time, but it was an idea and the communist leaders used this idea to gain control of China. ” (Dragon5) This shows how the people were split between there different beliefs and what they wanted or should I say forced to do. Quite a few are talking to both sides while they make their plans. Several of our friends have been approached by…uh…certain persons. Both are trying to win people over to their side. Yuan-Tsung Chen who wrote the autobiography during the transitional time stated “That’s just another way of making war. In the book The Dragon’s Village, gives a great account of what it was like making the transition from the old China into the new communist run China. The Chinese people might have been declared a communist nation, but many decided to fight against the new ideals brought about the country. On OctoMao Zedong proclaimed the People’s Republic of China where Communism finally reigned supreme. If I were living in China at the time, I would have fought for my rights especially after reading Dragon’s Village which has given me more insight into why I despise communist beliefs so much. Personally I am a very strong believer in a Democratic government such as America’s where everyone has there freedom. The communist influence being brought by them and powers such as Russia influenced the Chinese way of thinking that Communism had new beliefs of the world and that all people should be seen as equal under the new government. At the time, Duxiu and Dazhao saw an opportunity to bring change throughout a weakened China and they exploited it.
For 10 years China was lost in a world with new ideas coming from all over the world. At the time China was in a world or turmoil ever since the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao were the co-founders of the communist party in 1921. Communism in China as we know has played a major role in the countries political system over the past century.
