Episode 8 recap: Mao Zedong aimed to develop the peasants.
During the Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong emphasized to Maring that the situation in China was different from that of the Soviet Union. China had fewer industrial workers and more peasants. However, some people believed that quantity did not necessarily mean usefulness. It was not a matter of numbers but rather a question of the advancement or backwardness of the class. The development of the peasants' qualities remained a question.
After all, the cultural level of the peasants was generally low, and many of them were illiterate. Sun Yat-sen and his wife mentioned the issue of cooperation between the Nationalist Party and the Communist Party, stating that they had studied medical science and understood that to prevent diseases from worsening, it was necessary to use strong medicine. Even if they planned to reorganize the Nationalist Party and form an alliance with Russia and the Communist Party, they would continue to support the peasants and workers. This restructuring was not only about the party's internal organization but also about establishing a truly revolutionary army through cooperation.
