(CQNEWS) Historical facts confirm again that Chongqing is "one of the birthplaces for early Chinese communist movement".
A group of young people, on March 12, 1920 was the first in China to set up the Chongqing Communist Organization in Sichuan Province . Now 90 years later, the historic event lost to time is finally released to the world.
On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the CPC's establishment, Chongqing Daily, with the approval of Archives Bureau, CCCPC exclusively published A report on communist organizations in Chongqing, Sichuan Province ( Chongqing Report for short here in after) by the young people.
The valuable Chongqing report, completed around 1920, was delivered by 4 responsible persons with the Chongqing organization to the CPC delegation of the Communist International. Among the report's 7 sections, the Section 3 gives a detailed introduction to the history of the organization, saying "the organization was set up in Chongqing on March 12, 1920", which indicates that it is the oldest of its kind in China and run by young local Marxism supporters without any assistance of the Communist International.
The organization with about 40 members and some alternate members had the secretariat and 3 departments of publicity, finance and publishing. Meanwhile, it set up branches in west, southwest, southeast, north and east Sichuan Province when there were 5 communist organizations in Chengdu, Xufu (now Yibin), Yazhou(now Ya an), Shunqing (Nanchong) and Chongqing respectively. The Chongqing organization was the headquarters , asserting the Communism is the weapon to fight against evils at present and in the future .
