87 years ago today, on December 6, 1938 (October 15, 1938 in the lunar calendar), Zhou Enlai discussed with Chiang Kai-shek the cooperation between the two parties. On December 6, 1938, Zhou Enlai held talks with Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang expressed his disapproval of the views of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Since the Communist Party of China practices the Three People's Principles, it is best to form an organization. If this point can be discussed, Chiang will ask Mao Zedong for an interview; if all cannot do it, can some CCP members join the Kuomintang without crossing the party? Zhou Enlai replied: The CCP practices the Three People's Principles, not only because it is the way out of the Anti-Japanese War, but also because it is the only way to achieve socialism. Not all Kuomintang members think so, so the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are two parties after all. We do not force cross-party Joining the Kuomintang and quitting the Communist Party is impossible and impossible. Several people quitting the Communist Party and joining the Kuomintang are not only disrespectful and untrustworthy, but also harmful to the country. Jiang said: If it is impossible to consider a merger, there is no need to invite Mao Zedong to Xi'an for talks. On the 12th, Zhou Enlai, Dong Biwu and others telegraphed the situation of the 6th meeting to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China: Chiang Kai-shek rejected the cross-party approach proposed by our party to handle the cooperative relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and insisted on abolishing the Communist Party and merging the Kuomintang and the Communist Party into one big party.
