Personally, I think we should first explain the background of the three major democratic movements, then talk about their nature, process and results respectively, and then make a summary, the reasons for the failure and the influence. The three major people's movements in China, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Boxer Rebellion and the Revolution of 1911, are actually very simple.

I don't have this model essay, there is a similar one, but it is not comprehensive enough, but you just need to write according to the idea of this article.

The failure of China's old democratic revolution

From the Opium War of 1840, China entered the period of old democratic revolution. The people of China are indomitable and brave. They not only resisted the imperialist war of aggression, but also broke out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Reform Movement of 1898, the Boxer Rebellion and the Revolution of 1911. These struggles broke the imperialist plot to carve up China and made the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolutionary movement develop continuously. The most important ones are the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the Revolution of 1911.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement led by Hong Xiuquan was a peasant revolutionary war against feudal rule and national oppression in Qing Dynasty. From the uprising of Jintian Village in Guangxi in 185 1 year, it continued vigorously for 14 years, developed to 18 province, occupied Nanjing, and established the peasant regime, which greatly dealt a blow to feudal forces and foreign invaders, showed the great power of peasant revolution, and had a far-reaching impact on later revolutions. However, because farmers are small producers and linked with backward production methods, they lack far-sighted political vision. Although they accepted the influence of some western bourgeois democracy, it was impossible to replace the feudal society with a new social system. Finally, under the joint suppression of imperialism and feudal landlord armed forces, it was defeated.

19 1 1 The Revolution of 1911, headed by Sun Yat-sen, broke out, overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, ended the feudal autocratic monarchy system in China for more than 2,000 years, made the concept of building a country through democracy deeply rooted in people's hearts, and created conditions for the further development of the democratic revolution. However, the Revolution of 1911 did not accomplish the historical task of bourgeois democratic revolution. The leaders of the Revolution of 1911 did not have a clear anti-imperialist and anti-feudal program, and did not actively organize and lead the broad masses of the people, mainly farmers, to participate in the revolutionary struggle. They have always had strong illusions about imperialism. In the external publicity, they even acknowledged all the unequal treaties concluded between the Qing government and imperialism and all kinds of reparations and loans. The leaders of the Revolution of 1911 did not regard the feudal warlords, bureaucrats and landlords of the Han nationality as the objects of the revolution, did not dare to wage a resolute struggle against them, and even regarded them as allies of the revolution. After Yuan Shikai, a Beiyang warlord, usurped the political power and stole the achievements of the Revolution of 1911, the revolutionaries fantasized about limiting feudal warlords by parliamentary struggle and realizing bourgeois democratic politics by compromising with feudal forces. After the founding of the Republic of China, although the imperial system was overthrown, the rule of imperialism and the landlord class did not change, and the regime fell into the hands of feudal warlords, representatives of the landlord class and running dogs of imperialism. Feudal warlords with different imperialist backgrounds fought for years. Under such circumstances, the people of China are suffering more and more disasters. Although the bourgeois revolutionaries represented by Sun Yat-sen are still struggling, they fantasize about relying on this faction of warlords to overthrow that faction in an attempt to promote their cause, so they have repeatedly failed and are very depressed. The practice of a hundred years' history has long proved that democracy in western capitalist countries can't save China (mainly because China has been a developing country whose economy has lagged behind the world since the19th century). However, some poor petty-bourgeois historians who don't learn from history try to turn to democracy in western capitalist countries. If they really succeed, they can only repeat the failure of the old democratic revolution in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

The failure of the Revolution of 1911 also showed that the bourgeoisie in China, because of its economic and political weaknesses, could not solve the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal problems, nor could it lead the democratic revolution to complete victory. Only the emerging working class can shoulder the leadership responsibility of the democratic revolution. However, the historical practice of the socialist revolution proves that the political maturity of the working class still needs a long historical process. In this process, the working class has to go through repeated hardships to reach political maturity and establish a broad political vision. In the 20th century, Mao Zedong vigorously promoted the young working class, which will accelerate the process of political maturity of the working class. Whenever the working class and even the whole Chinese nation face disasters and crises, Mao Zedong's loud cry will undoubtedly ring in their ears!
