About the Book

 

This book tells stories about the background, process and significance of the CPC. Most importantly, it tells readers the complete agenda of the First National Congress of the CPC, the program and resolution passed in it and relevant details, as well as the diversified roads taken by the thirteen delegates of the congress later on. The meanings of “the Red Boat spirit” are: the pioneering spirit of opening up a new world and daring to be the first, the struggling spirit of still being faithful to the ideals and never giving up in spite of all setbacks, and the dedicating spirit of serving the public good and working with loyalty to the interests of the people.
