In the early stages of the spread of Marxism in China,it mainly came through three channels:Japan,France,and Russia.The Russian channel mainly originated from the construction of the Middle East Railway and its development along the route.Harbin,as the core hub of the Middle East Railway,became an important gathering place for early Marxist dissemination and a liaison station for the activities of the Russian Communist Party.During the construction of the Middle East Railway,the Russian Bolsheviks carried out Marxist propaganda in Harbin through various means and methods.Therefore,as early as the early 20th century,the Chinese industrial workers on the Harbin Middle East Railway had already been exposed to Marxist ideas through exchanges with Russian Bolshevik workers,which promoted the ideological awakening of Harbin workers and laid the class foundation and ideological preparation for the establishment and development of the Communist Party of China's Harbin organization.
