Acknowledgments
This book project started in 2009, as I finally decided to take the Chinese
Youth Party as my PhD dissertation topic. If I count my earlier research on
the Young China Association and the Chinese Democratic League, I could
date the genesis of this book project back to my years as a master’s and even
an undergraduate student. Without the support of many mentors through-
out this process, of course, I could not have proceeded well in my research
on this topic. My first acknowledgment thus goes to my supervisors at the
University of Pennsylvania: Arthur Waldron, Fred Dickinson, and Siyen
Fei. Without their guidance, trust, and encouragement, I would not have
completed the initial research portion of this book. Furthermore, I would
like to thank Luo Zhitian laoshi. With his suggestions and guidance,
I expanded my research significantly, beginning to explore the political
activities of the Chinese Youth Party in northeast China, north China, and
Sichuan. Additionally, I am grateful to my earlier mentors, Mōri Kazuko
and Sucheta Mazumdar. It was through their teaching that I first under-
stood the rigor of historical research and then was inspired to examine the
histories of the third parties in Republican China.
Certainly, it goes without saying that support from friends also
mattered in publishing this book. Ye Minlei offered me step-by-step
guidance at different stages in this book’s publication. For a first-time
book author struggling to turn a dissertation into a publishable mono-
graph, I found Minlei’s guidance extremely valuable. Calvin Hui’s inputs
were also meaningful. As I had difficulties at different transitional stages,
from MA to PhD, from PhD to job market, and from preparing a book
proposal to finalizing the book manuscript respectively, Calvin has given
me important advice. Furthermore, I appreciate my tongxue, Lu Xu,
Leander Seah, and Mao Sheng for their help at different stages in my
research. Without their intellectual inspirations, I am sure I would have
faced way more hurdles in my research process. Other friends include
Zhao Yanjie, Wang Guo, Chen Huaiyuan, and Jie Dalei, who helped me
acquire materials at different stages of this book. I appreciate their
willingness to help facilitate my research.

For the transliteration of Chinese words, this book follows the pinyin
system, with the exception of some well-known names in English aca-
demia, such as Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek. For the abbreviation
of the Chinese Nationalist Party, rather than “KMT,” derived from
Kuomintang, this book uses “GMD,” derived from Guomindang due to
a newer standard in the field of modern Chinese history. This book also
derives material from Japanese sources and so unavoidably touches
Japanese names and terms. For the Romanization of Japanese words,
this book uses the Hepburn system in most cases. For special cases, such
as Tokyo and Chuo University, I did not add macrons, for example, due
to their common usage in English. Lastly, following the conventional
sequence of personal names in East Asia, for the Chinese and Japanese
names, this book gives family names first, followed by given names,
without placing a comma in between.

1 Introduction
“Raise left hand to overthrow the Communist Party! Raise right hand to
overthrow the Nationalist Party!” Mrs. Zhao Yuzheng, despite being
92 years old at the time of my interview with her in May 2010 in
Chengdu, Sichuan province, still remembered this slogan that energized
her when she joined the Chinese Youth Party (Zhongguo qingniandang,
CYP) in 1944.1 For her at that moment, the CYP members were more
righteous than the corrupt Nationalists (GMD), and more rational than
the cruel Communists (CCP). Mrs. Zhao was just an ordinary middle
school teacher in the 1940s, but her experience reflects an unexplored
political landscape of Republican China. If the CCP represented the left,
and the GMD a militarized ruling force based on opaque ideologies, how
could we understand the ideas and politics on the right in the emergent
mass party struggles in Republican China? As this study demonstrates, it
was the CYP, established in 1923 in Paris, that took on the pivotal role of
forming and transforming the Chinese right.
Mrs. Zhao was born in 1918 and first encountered the Chinese Youth
Party when she studied at the Chinese Women’s Middle School
(Zhonghua nüzi zhongxue). As she recalled, the CYP was very influential
in Sichuan educational circles at that time, and her middle school had
also been established by one of its leaders. Therefore, many of her
teachers were CYP members. Present among her classmates was also
the daughter of a leading CYP intellectual.2 Between the late 1930s and
early 1940s, as Mrs. Zhao further studied at high school and normal
1
Later, Mrs. Zhao became the propaganda commissioner of the Committee of Women
Movement (Funü yundong weiyuanhui) of the CYP’s Sichuan provincial branch.

Wei Shizhen, a leading intellectual of the CYP. Wei was born in 1895 and graduated from
Chengdu Middle School in 1912. Wei was a member of the Young China Association
(YCA) and also one of the founding members of the CYP. Wei went to Germany in
1920 and graduated from the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen in 1925 with a
doctoral degree in math and physics. Upon his return, he took several appointments
within higher educational institutions in Sichuan, such as chair of the Department of
Sciences at Sichuan University.
college, she was awakened politically. During the harsh Resistance War
against imperial Japan in this period, just like many other educated
youths, she was determined to assist in saving her motherland by joining
a political force. It was in this context that she found the CYP, rather
than the other two major armed forces, as the most suitable political
choice for her. When Mrs. Zhao returned to the Chinese Women’s
Middle School as a teacher in 1944, she thus joined the CYP.3
To clarify the CYP’s stance, Mrs. Zhao shared an interesting episode
with me. One day in 1945, a government official hit a middle school
student, and this incident subsequently triggered a general student strike
against the Chengdu city authorities. Although the walkout itself was not
launched by the CYP, according to Mrs. Zhao, her school nevertheless
stopped its classes to support those striking students rather than trying to
pacify them. Moreover, despite the strict censorship of the GMD, the
New China Daily (Xin zhongguo ribao) of the CYP also denounced the
government’s suppression of the students. Mrs. Zhao did not explain in
detail the cause and effect of this movement, so it is not entirely clear why
the official struck the student, nor how exactly this movement was finally
settled. By sharing this story, however, her underlying message is clear –
namely that she wishes to overhaul the CYP’s negative or trivialized
image, long established in the revolutionary narratives of the People’s
Republic of China in both Chinese and English-language scholarship.

She was introduced by Xie Chengping. Xie was Mrs. Zhao’s teacher when she studied at
the Chengdu Normal School and was also a professor at Sichuan University when she
graduated from the Normal College. Xie was also a close subordinate of Li Huang.

Mao Zedong, “Zhongguo shehui gejieji de fenxi [A Class Analysis of the Chinese Society],”
in Mao Zedong xuanji, vol. 1 [Selected writings of Mao Zedong, vol. 1] (Beijing: Renmin
chubanshe, 1991), 4. In terms of guojiazhuyi, it could be rendered as statism. Yet, the
CYP founders themselves used “Nationalisme” in French and “Nationalism” in English to
express their nationalist ideology. So, I will use “CYP nationalism” and “nationalism
(guojiazhuyi)” interchangeably as the English translation of guojiazhuyi in this book,
identified Zeng Qi, the most influential leader of the CYP, as one of the
country’s top war criminals in late 1948.5 Due to this political nature, the
CYP was thus categorized as a reactionary party, and its former members
were often targeted for reeducation or class struggle in a series of political
campaigns from the early 1950s to the late 1970s. While the CYP faced
massive stigmatizations from the GMD as well before 1949, it was indeed
not until the CCP established its reign in China that the CYP became
widely known as a symbolic reactionary force, representing the landlord
and capitalist classes.
It is true that Chinese historical research has changed enormously
since the early 1980s, corresponding to the massive political and eco-
nomic transformation of mainland China overall. Nevertheless, the
CYP’s history is still seen as marginal, despite the wide-reaching reex-
aminations of mass party politics that emerged during the early 1920s in
the wake of the May Fourth movement. This is due to two reasons: First,
the existing historical research of the CYP in China trivializes itself from
the outset, as it tends to justify the Communist triumph in 1949, for
example, by focusing on the CYP’s political and ideological flaws from
the beginning in comparison with the political and ideological strengths
of the CCP.6 Second, its narratives often center on intellectual debates,
primarily examining the ideological conflicts between the CYP founders
and others.7 As a result, we cannot discover the CYP’s own historical
agency in shaping mass party struggles in the post-May Fourth years.

See Wang Qisheng, “‘Geming’ yu ‘fangeming’: Sanda zhengdang de dangji hudong
[“Revolution” and “Anti-Revolution”:” Inter-Party Relations of the Three Biggest

zhengzhi [“Revolution” and “Anti-Revolution”:” Politics of Republican China under
the Social and Cultural Perspectives] (Beijing: Shehui kexue wenxian chubanshe, 2010).
Wang discusses the plebiscitarian revolution of the CYP as one of the three powerful
revolutionary ideologies, but his examination was limited to a short period.
9
Chan Lau Kit-Ching briefly introduced the CYP in The Chinese Youth Party, 1923–1945
(Hong Kong: Center of Asian Studies, University of Hong Kong, 1972), though no
monograph has yet been published in English academia. Besides this research, Marilyn
Levine and Edmund Fung also examined the CYP’s history to a limited degree, but
mostly in the extension of their research on the CCP and other important intellectuals,
respectively. See Marilyn A. Levine, The Found Generation: Chinese Communists in Europe
during the Twenties (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1993), and Edmund S. K.
Fung, In Search of Chinese Democracy: Civil Opposition in Nationalist China, 1929–1949
(New York: University of Cambridge Press, 2000).

Joseph Esherick, “Ten Theses on the Chinese Revolution,” in Twentieth- Century China:
New Approaches, ed. Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom (New York: Routledge, 2003). To make it
clear, “revolution” expressed here primarily means the Communist Revolution.
political trends in interwar Europe. As the Great War heralded the arrival
of the “age of extremes” in the twentieth century in the late 1910s,11 the
founding of the CYP and CCP, in 1923 and 1921 respectively, symbol-
ized the Chinese appropriation of the global right and left in the early
1920s, with the former adhering to national socialism (guojia shehuizhuyi)
and the latter to communism. Alongside the CCP, the CYP thus shaped
Chinese revolutionary politics on the radical right throughout the 1920s
and 1930s and then staged the democratic convergence in Chinese
political discourse by its deradicalized turn to a civil opposition force in
the 1940s.
In looking at the CYP in the making and unmaking of the Chinese
radical right, we can rediscover the different political landscapes of
Republican China. First, it is a significant misunderstanding that the rise
of the CCP is the only relevant result of the radical politicization of the
May Fourth generation in the early 1920s. In the wake of the May
Fourth, if the CCP arose on the radical left by taking a totally hostile
attitude toward the Chinese tradition for its class revolution based on
materialism, the CYP appeared out of the same groups of May Fourth
students and intellectuals by embracing the Chinese historical and cul-
tural legacies for the CYP’s nationalist plebiscitarian revolution (quanmin
geming) based on idealism.12 As Communists became the second largest
mass political force in the following two decades, CYP members also
increased in influence to become the third, as they worked with leading
regional warlords and engaged in military actions and violent street
struggles in northern China, as well as local constructions in Sichuan,
up until the late 1930s. Therefore, the orthodox revolutionary narratives
focusing on the CCP and GMD did not really encompass the vast and
disintegrated sociopolitical realm of Republican China. Finally, it is
undeniable that the CYP lost much of its military power and political
11

Abacus, 1994).

In terms of “quanmin geming,” its literal meaning is “revolution of all nationals.” As a
disciplined political party, the CYP opposed class struggle and emphasized Chinese
national unity while demanding the political involvement of all groupings for China’s
independence and strength. For the translation of “quanmin,” I take “plebiscitarian”
from Max Weber’s observation on “plebiscitarian democracy” and other relevant
scholarship. With “plebiscitarian revolution,” I could convey the indispensable
meanings of “strong leadership,” “strong nationalism,” “party politics,” “anti-
communism,” and “anti-class struggles” of quanmin geming. References include Max
Weber, Economy and Society, trans. Keith Tribe (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University
Press, 2019), chap. 3; Andreas Kalyvas, Democracy and the Politics of the Extraordinary:

leverage to the GMD in the Second Sino-Japanese War, but this party
still contributed to forging democratic convergence in the Chinese polit-
ical discourse in the 1940s by transforming itself from a revolutionary
party into a civil opposition party.
By tracing the CYP’s history as such, we can discover that the Chinese
age of extremes in the first half of the twentieth century was not solely
dictated by the histories of the GMD and CCP. We also learn that
modern Chinese intellectual and political history is not the theology of
the Chinese Communist revolution. For many Chinese educated youth
from the early 1920s until the late 1940s, the CYP was not simply an
ideological option in people’s mind, but also a solid political choice in the
real world. Mrs. Zhao’s political experiences exemplify just that.
“Radical Right”
This study discusses the making and unmaking of the Chinese radical right
in the first half of the twentieth century. With this thesis, it is inevitable that
I will refer extensively to the Euro-American ideological and political
experiences and might thus incur some criticism of being “Eurocentric.”
However, modern political and economic institutionalization has been a
global rather than a European phenomenon since the French Revolution
and the Industrial Revolution in the late eighteenth century, and China was
not alienated from the process. Therefore, as we see, the Chinese intellec-
tuals and politicians have attempted to configure the Chinese political
liberation, economic marketization, and development of science and tech-
nology one generation after another from the late nineteenth century,
resulting in a series of reform and revolutionary movements based on
different ideologies. In that way, the modern mass political spectrum from
right to left gives us a suitable lens through which to look at the differenti-
ated perceptions, determinations, and actions of the Chinese in each
period taking up those agendas. There is no doubt, of course, that the
Chinese sociopolitical and cultural realities were always different, but the
right and left politics help us catch the meandering path of modern Chinese
mass party politics as one indispensable part of the long-term political and
economic globalization process of the past two centuries. China was not
external to this process. Rather, the process was developed inside China in
its own way.
That said, this study traces the history of the CYP on the radical right
in the Chinese emergent mass party struggles from the early 1920s to the
late 1940s. But what exactly does “radical right” mean? First, by “rad-
ical,” I certainly do not simply mean the mindless hatred and unprin-
cipled violence often seen in blind populist mass movements. Rather,

measure is good or bad.

For example, there are different opinions as to the CYP’s fascist nature between Marilyn
A. Levine and Edmund S. K. Fung. Levine emphasizes its early admiration of fascism in
the 1920s; Fung identifies the CYP’s quest for democracy mainly from the late 1930s.
