The Revolution of 1911, or the Xinhai Revolution, began with the Wuchang Uprising on October 10, 1911. It led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and the establishment of the Republic of China (1912-1949). Some of those who took part in the revolution later became members of the Communist Party of China. Let's have a close look at them as the centenary of the revolution draws near:

Zhu De (1886-1976) is a great Marxist, proletarian revolutionary, statesman and military strategist. He is one of the principal leaders of the Communist Party of China and the People's Republic of China and one of the founders of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Zhu De was enrolled into the Army School of Yunnan in 1909, and joined the Tong Meng Hui (Chinese Revolutionary League) the same year. He took part in the Revolution of 1911. [more]

He was a leading figure in the anti-imperialist Revolution of 1911 and the May Fourth Movement for Science and Democracy. Along with Li Dazhao, Chen was a co-founder of the Communist Party of China in 1921. He was its first Chairman and first General Secretary. Chen was an educator, philosopher, and politician.
