About
It tells the story of the first generation of leaders of the Communist Party of China represented by Mao Ze Dong. When the country is in crisis, the first congress of the Communist Party of China was held to establish the Communist Party of China and lead the Communist Party to explore the great course of maturity. The story takes Mao Ze Dong’s “one major representative” as the perspective, starts from the main contradictions in Chinese society after 1919, and takes the party’s development context as the foundation. The arduous struggle opened up an unprecedented revolutionary road and finally won a great victory.
