An Old Party Reborn

Covering the years 1925 to 1949, this book offers a systematic account of the historical development of the China Zhi Gong Party during the democratic revolutionary period. Drawing on extensive and reliable historical sources, it explores and interprets the Party's political choices, organizational evolution, and its cooperative relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) throughout major historical events including the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation. The book provides a comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth study of the China Zhi Gong Party's transformation-from an old-style secret society into an old democratic party advocating a "third way," and ultimately into a democratic party that accepted the leadership of the CCP. 本书以1925―1949年为研究时段，系统梳理中国致公党在民主革命时期的历史发展脉络，通过考证翔实史料，深入探讨并解读了致公党在抗日战争、解放战争等重大历史事件中的政治选择、组织建设及与中国共产党团结合作的全过程，对中国致公党由旧式会党转变为主张"第三条"道路的旧民主主义政党，进而成为接受中共领导的民主党派的问题，进行了全面、系统、深入的专题研究。
