On Influence of Marx and Engels'Views on China on Chinese Social Changes and Its Contemporary Enlightenment
After the failure of the European Revolution in 1848,Marx and Engels understood the trend of world revolution and gradually paid attention to the study of eastern social problems.With the capacity of special corre-spondent,Marx and Engels combined with a large number of documents,statistical data and factual reports,to make a detailed study of the social reform of the typical Eastern country"China",and made scientific analysis on the expansion of capital operation by Western powers to open China's door,the privilege of Western powers to trampling on the Chinese people,and the acceleration of social contradictions in the opium trade with China.Based on historical materialism,Marx and Engels distinguished the current situation between China and the West,faced up to historical facts,and predicted the future of China's development.Reviewing these scientific analyses and for-ward-looking judgments can help us correctly understand the evolution of modern Chinese society and the histori-cal choices of the Chinese people,and truly understand the vitality and appeal of Marxism,a scientific philoso-phy.It is also of great significance for us to grasp historical materialism,anchor a global vision,adhere to the path of confidence,and raise the spirit of struggle.
