Mao Tse‐tung, taking the rural areas as his military base, and relying on the overwhelming majority of the peasantry, and also taking Marxism‐Leninism as his theoretical support, was able to lead the Chinese revolution to success. How was the result possible at all? The key to the success of the Chinese revolution is to be found in the struggle in Chingkangshan, where a proletarian type of man was shaping out of the peasantry through a reconstruction of social consciousness. This type of man went on to form the main force of the Revolution, especially in the form of the Red Army. The interconnexion between Mao Tse‐tung's thought and Marxism‐Leninism, or again, the unique character of Mao Tse‐tung's thought, can be made clear by tracing the above process.
