On this day, 12 April 1927, the Shanghai massacre began, when thousands of communists, workers and students were murdered or “disappeared” by Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang nationalist movement.
Ironically the Kuomintang had been supported up to that point by the Chinese and Soviet Communist Parties.
Over the next year over 300,000 would be killed in anti-communist repression by the Kuomintang.
But the revolutionary movement was not destroyed.
