III. CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL AFFAIRS

One of the most enduring themes in Chinese Communist thought and practice is the commitment to the transformation of China's traditional culture. Whereas Lenin postponed the "Cultural Revolution" in Russian society until after the seizure of political power,1 the Chinese elite confronted the difficult task of cultural change in the process of the revolutionary struggle. Indeed, following the May Fourth Movement of 1919 and, more generally, under the influence of the New Culture Movement of 1917–1922, the CCP from its establishment in 1921 has been intimately involved with the revolution in China's literature and art and the reformation of the educational system.2 This is reflected in the Bureau's impressive collection of novels and plays, and of CCP decisions regarding the arts and education from the late 1920s to the early 1950s.
