It was proposed by Chairman Mao in May 1938 to regard July 1 as the anniversary of the party's birth. At that time, Chairman Mao put forward in his article on protracted war that "July 1 this year marks the 17th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China." This is the first time that leading comrades of the Central Committee have clearly pointed out that "July 1" is the anniversary of the birth of the party.
As the anniversary of the birth of the party, "July 1" was first seen in the central document in June 1941. At that time, the CPC Central Committee issued the instructions on the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Communist Party of China and the four year anniversary of Anti Japanese war. "July 1 this year marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the fourth anniversary of China's war of resistance against Japan," said the directive. "All anti Japanese base areas should hold separate meetings, adopt various measures, hold commemorative meetings, and publish special issues or special issues in various journals." This is the first document made in the name of the CPC Central Committee to mark July 1 as the anniversary of the party's birth.
