Abstract: The unique fighting pattern of Donggu revolution base area may serve as a typical example of early Sinicism of Marxism: its rural area-centered approach develops the Marxist theory of armed revolution, its land policy of unifying intermediate forces enriches the Marxist theory of unified front work, its execution of absolute leadership of the Party over armed forces embodies the Marxist principle of army building, and its flexible guerrilla tactics reflects Marxist military strategies. Thus, the experience of Donggu revolution base makes a great contribution to the preliminary formation of Chinese Marxism -- Mao Zedong Thought.

Key words: Donggu Revolutionary Base Area , Donggu experience , adapting Marxism to China’s conditions
