In 1927, at the end of the Northern Expedition, which the Kuomintang cooperated with, the signs of betrayal of the national revolution by the new Kuomintang warlords represented by Chiang Kai-shek became increasingly obvious. He delivered a "lecturing" at a rally to express his anti-Japanese tendencies, and asked Guo Moruo, then deputy director of the General Political Department of the National Revolutionary Army, to repeat each of his words with a loudspeaker. Guo Moruo was shocked. . He did not understand the speech of Chiang Kai-shek, then General Commander-in-Chief of the National Revolutionary Army.
Chiang Zhongzheng convened a meeting of party, government and military celebrities in Lushan, and Mrs. Sun Song Qingling and Mrs. Liao He Xiangning were also invited to attend. At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to dismiss Borodin, the Soviet special envoy, but Song Qingling and He Xiangning opposed it. The leftist leader of the Kuomintang, Deng Yanda (the founder of the Chinese Peasants and Workers Democratic Party), also did not agree, and also declined Chiang Kai-shek's offer to promote Deng Yanda. job opinions. Guo Moruo despised Chiang Kai-shek and his followers at the masquerade party, declaring: I am an idol worshiper and an idol destroyer.
Guo Moruo heard and witnessed Chiang Zhongzheng and Yang Hu colluding with reactionary forces to strangle the workers and peasants movement. Mr. Guo once went to the headquarters to ask Lao Chiang for instructions on punishing the tyrants who oppressed the workers and peasants, but he was rejected. Later, Yang Hu actually interfered with Mr. Guo and his subordinates' actions to support the workers and peasants and arrest the evil gentry, and later killed the workers and peasants leaders. Guo Moruo once wanted to mobilize General Li Zongren, commander of the Seventh Army and leader of the Gui Army, to overthrow Chiang, but failed. There are a few details worth noting. Guo Lao, followed by guards from the two political departments, went to the headquarters to find Lao Jiang to punish the wealthy gentry. When he entered the door, he was in a hurry and failed to return the salute to the two guards who saluted at the door. When he went out, he did not salute because he was angry. Later, I went to see Li Zongren. At first I did not salute because I was impatient, but when I went out because I still had hope for Li Zongren, I returned the salutes of the two guards. This is my opinion after observing and thinking about these details many times. Angrily, Mr. Guo wrote "Look at Chiang Kai-shek Today" in March 1927, pointing out that he was no longer the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but the representative of all reactionary forces.
The Kuomintang warlords finally raised their swords against the people, and Guo Moruo told Zhou Enlai that he would follow the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-shek established the ‘National Government’ in Nanjing to represent the interests of imperialism, bureaucratic capitalism and feudal forces. In August 1927, Guo Moruo joined the Second Front Army formed by the Nanchang Uprising troops and joined the Communist Party of China on his way south. He declared that the age of the goddess was over and a new dawn was to come.
