Chronicle documents Party history of New Democratic Revolution period

A chronicle documenting major events of the Communist Party of China during the New Democratic Revolution period (1921-1949) was published ahead of the 75th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.

This chronicle aims to foster a correct understanding of the Party and its history, playing a significant role in promoting Party history education, experts said at a symposium on the publication of the chronicle in Beijing on Wednesday.

Qu Qingshan, president of the Institute of Party History and Literature, noted at the symposium that the chronicle aligns with the evolving trends in Party history education and enriches the existing body of Party literature. He emphasized that, compared with previous general histories, this detailed chronicle offers a more comprehensive and systematic overview of Party history.

"If we consider existing Party history works as the trunk of a tree, then the chronicle serves as the branches and lush leaves that enrich and fill the gaps in Party history research," he said.

The chronicle is noted for its authoritative historical narrative and political significance, making it suitable for study, Qu added.

The New Democratic Revolution spans from the CPC's establishment in 1921 to the founding of the PRC in 1949. This period is particularly important as it marked the overthrow of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism in China, creating the fundamental social conditions necessary for the country's modernization.
