“关于陈独秀这个人,我们今天可以讲一讲,他是有过功劳的。他是五、四运动时期的总司令,整个运动实际上是他领导的。他与周围的一群人,如李大钊同志,是起了大作用的。……我们是他们那一代人的学生。五、四运动,替中国共产党准备了干部。那个时候有《新青年》杂志,是陈独秀主编的。被这个杂志和五、四运动警醒起来的人,后来有一部份进了共产党。这些人受陈独秀和他周围一群人的影响很大,可以说是由他集合起来,这才成立了党。”——摘自毛泽东在党的“七大”上的讲话 “About Chen Duxiu this man, we can talk about today, he has made credit .He is commander in chief of the May 4th Movement, the whole movement is actually he led him with a group of people around, such as Li Dazhao Comrades played a big role ... We are students of their generation, and the May 4th Movement prepared for the Chinese Communist Party cadres, at that time there was a magazine called ”New Youth,“ edited by Chen Duxiu, People who were waking up in the May 4th Movement and later in part in the Communist Party were greatly influenced by Chen Duxiu and a group of people around him and could be said to have been brought together by him to form the party.
