Although the political discourse and political image of "May Fourth" were accepted gradually by people in the Chinese Mainland after 1949, its origin can be traced back to the interpretation and positioning of left-wing intellectuals after the May Fourth Movement of 1919. In the late 1930s and the beginning 1940s, Mao Zedong had regarded "May Fourth" as the "beginning of a new democratic revolution," and consequently the political trend of "May Fourth" began to form. As the "May Fourth Incident" rose in prominence, it became one of the ideological foundations of historical legitimacy of the CCP. Simultaneously, the New Culture Movement gradually vanished, and was eventually assimilated into the "May Fourth Incident." Since 1949, the constant political movements and ideological remolding movements of positive and negative strengthening propaganda, especially the Anti-Hu Shi Campaign, not only ruled out Hu Shi as the leader of the "May Fourth," acting with Li Dazhao, Mao Zedong and Lu Xun, but also dispelled all essential elements of the New Culture Movement, such as science, democracy, individualism, pragmatism and cosmopolitanism and so on. So far, "May Fourth" has been a thoroughly political conceptualization and ideologization, and its influence has been continuing to this day. |
