The Influence of the Visit of Visiting Group of Gentry from the Northwest Shanxi to Yan'an
In 1941,the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression led by the CPC entered the most difficult period,so it was particularly important to actively promote all sectors in the base areas to implement the national anti-Japanese line,closely unite all revolutionary classes,and consolidate and expand the work of the anti-Japanese national united front.From May 4th to August 5th,1942,a grand visit to Yan'an was organized by the gentry represented by famous patriotic and democratic figures such as Niu Youlan in the anti-Japanese base areas of the northwest Shanxi.They visited Yan'an for three months and were warmly received by the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China,personally experiencing the political atmosphere of democracy in the border area and witnessing the new economic and cultural achievements there.The visit of the gentry delegation in the northwest Shanxi to Yan'an effectively strengthened the propaganda and implementation of the"three-thirds system",consolidated the anti-Japanese national united front,promoted the construction of the base areas in the northwest Shanxi,and improved the influence of the CPC among the people.
