CPC's Centennial Story Intertwined with HK | Starting from scratch, Labor Movements spread like storm

In 1920, three young men from Hong Kong, Li Yibao, Lin Changchi and Zhang Rendao, met with Chen Duxiu, the founding secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CPC). Inspired and encouraged by Chen, the three set up the first Marxist study group in HK to explore ways to save the country.

At the beginning of the 20th century, many labor unions were formed in HK, and many labor movements against exploitation and imperialism were launched, the most famous of which were the HK Seamen's Strike in 1922 and the Canton-HK Strike in 1925.

The workers' movement in HK nurtured leaders of labor movements who later became the backbones of the Chinese Communist Party.
