Organizing the Guangdong party organization of the Communist Party of China

In 1917, Tan Pingshan, Tan Zhitang, Chen Gongbo, Qu Shengbai and other Guangdong youths were admitted to Peking University. At this time, the great October Socialist Revolution broke out in Russia, and Tan Pingshan saw the dawn of the new century, glowing with dormant fighting enthusiasm. Especially under the influence of New Youth magazine sponsored by Chen Duxiu, Tan Pingshan joined the "new trend society" initiated by Fu Sinian and Luo Jialun, which published "new trend" magazine to publicize new cultural ideas.

In 1919, at the Paris peace conference, China's diplomacy failed, and the imperialists forced Germany to transfer its rights and interests in Shandong Peninsula to Japan. The news spread to Beijing, and people were furious. The anti imperialist anger that had long been hidden in the hearts of the Chinese people erupted like a volcano.

On May 4, Tan Pingshan and his classmates held a demonstration with about 3000 people from more than a dozen junior colleges in Beijing, holding banners such as "refuse peace treaty", "return Qingdao to me" and "severely punish traitors".

In Zhengheng, Tan Pingshan published such theoretical articles as who is the worker who made the social revolution, the problem of Chinese political parties and the policy of organizing political parties in the future, and my proposition of transforming the countryside.
