SUMMARY:The Road to the Chinese Communist Revolution: How Petty Intellectua
 ls Gathered and Accepted Leftist Ideologies in 1920s and 1930s Shanghai
DESCRIPTION:\n	Tang Xiaobing (Associate Professor\, History Department\, Ea
 st China Normal University\; Visiting Scholar\, Harvard-Yenching Institute
 )\n	Chair/discussant: Elizabeth Perry (Henry Rosovsky Professor of Govern
 ment\, Harvard University\; Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute)\n\n	Co-
 sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n\n	In 1927\, Chi
 ang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei\, who inherited the power of leading the C
 hinese national revolution from Sun Yat-sen\, began to openly purge Commun
 ists and left-wing members of the Chinese Nationalist Party. China’s Com
 munist movement was at a low point due to this situation. However\, left-w
 ing culture was prosperous in Shanghai at the time. The left-wing culture\
 , in its development for nearly a decade in Shanghai\, fostered a great nu
 mber of youths who later arrived in the Communist-controlled areas located
  in the northern part of Shaanxi Province. They participated in the Chines
 e Communist Revolution\, which finally achieved victory in 1949. To explai
 n this historical transition\, this talk will present how the CCP influenc
 ed cultural spaces such as bookstores\, schools and cafes to accomplish it
 s goals of mass mobilization for the party and how petty intellectuals pla
 yed a prominent role in interpreting\, creating and spreading left-wing cu
 lture. As a result\, in urban areas of Shanghai in the late 1920s and earl
 y 1930s\, petty intellectuals were absorbed into the Communist camp and fo
 stered with essential revolutionary skills\, and finally became an importa
 nt group to support the China Communist Revolution.
