China 1945

At the opening of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China on April 23, 1945, Mao Zedong's political report to the Seventh National Congress "On Coalition Government" aroused enthusiastic response from progressive democrats across the country. At the same time, the Kuomintang also held the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee. Many people in the Kuomintang were dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship. The Communist Party’s ideas of peace, democracy, and unity are very popular. In desperation, Chiang Kai-shek decided to convene a National Congress and promulgate a constitution. He wanted to use the National Congress to gain power for the Kuomintang and win over other social parties. The battle of wits and courage between the two sides kicked off.
