重建社会“中心势力”说与国共的两度合作

Argument on Rebuilding a“Central Force”in China and the Two Rounds of Cooperation Between the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party

近代明确提出并系统论述改造中国须首先重建社会“中心势力”说的第一人,是当时正在筹建中国共产党的李大钊。中国共产党对重建社会“中心势力”说认知的深化,促成了第一次国共合作。九一八事变后,国难当头,重建社会“中心势力”说成为全社会博弈的命题。救国会响应中国共产党建立抗日民族统一战线的主张,不认同国民党以社会中心自居和坚持“攘外必先安内”的政策,提出“民众力量中心”说,促进了全国抗日救亡运动的高涨,为西安事变后国共第二次合作的实现,提供了强大的民意支撑。抗战结束后,国共合作再次破裂,自称为社会中心的国民党政权最终走向崩溃,中国共产党创建了新中国,成为李大钊建党时所希望的新中国的中心所在。

Li Dazhao,one of the founders of the Communist Party of China(CPC),first proposed that the systemic reorganization of the China rested on rebuilding a“central force”.The CPC’s deepening understanding on the“central force”question paved the way for the realization of the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation.The outbreak of the September 18th Incident in 1931 posed a grave threat to the survival of the Chinese nation.Under such circumstances,debates on rebuilding a“central force”became heated in China.Saving the Nation Society(SNS)echoed the CPC’s call to build a national united front against Japanese aggression and shied away from the self-appointed“central force”status of the Kuomintang and the latter’s policy of“Stabilizing the Country first,Resisting Foreign Aggression later.”By proposing that the people should become the“central force”of China,the SNS stirred the Chinese people up to save their country from the Japanese aggressors and provided strong public opinion for the realization of the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation.After the Resistance War against Japanese Aggression,the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation also came to an end.The self-styled status of Kuomintang as the“central force”of China bankrupted along with the Kuomintang regime,under the ruins of which the CPC established the People’s Republic of China and became the“central force”in China,an expectation that Li Daozhao had placed on the CPC when he helped establish the party.
