Qian, Z: Road to Socialism with Chinese Characteristics

The founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1921, the spread of Marxism, and the rise of the workers and peasants' movement provided a powerful organization and ideological basis for China to explore a new road to modernization. Relying on a mass movement supported by strong ideals, beliefs, and strict discipline, the CPC with Mao Zedong as the representative successfully opened a revolutionary "road" to reclaim the national power. From 1949 to 1976, great efforts were made to explore the road of socialism construction. During this time, China's modernization made great strides forward but also experienced some serious twists and turns. The experiences and lessons of this time period have provided valuable political material and ideological resources for the future. China has successfully found a different road to modernization from the Western countries and the Soviet Union, giving the "Chinese Road" great historical significance. This book takes an in-depth look at this fascinating history in Chinese politics. Subject: Chinese Studies, Politics, Socialism]
