Abstract:modern China, the Communist Party has constantly commemorated SUN Yat-sen and continued to use SUN Yat-sen as a political symbol to push political agenda in different political situations. The commemoration of SUN Yat-sen in different periods carries different political appeals. During the Great Revolution period, it served to promote the cooperation between the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party) and the Communist Party and overthrow imperialism and feudal warlords. During Agrarian Revolution, it served to attack the Kuomintang for betraying the revolution and legitimate CPC’s leadership of the revolution of workers and farmers. During the period of anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation, it served to mobilize people all across China to fight against Japanese invasion and promote the reform in civil rights and people’s livelihood. In the 30 years before the reform and opening up, it served to oppose hegemonism and encourage cooperation in building a new China. Since the reform and opening up, it has served to seek common ground and cooperation to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Changes in the political implications of the commemoration of SUN Yat-sen highlight the constant efforts of the Communist Party in strengthening party identity, national identity and belief identity through the symbol of SUN Yat-sen. With the inheritance and transcendence of SUN Yat-sen’s new Three People’s Principles, revolutionary spirit, and construction dreams, the Communist Party of China has carried a series of policies, theories and practices that combine the general principles of Marxism with the practice of Chinese revolution, reform, and modernization, pushing forward the sinicization of Marxism.
