李大钊
Li Dazhao (1889-1927), had played an important role in the New Culture Movement and would soon become the cofounder of the Chinese Commmunist Party. Li Dazhao was the magazine's chief collaborator in the Chinese Communist Party, and published, among other things, an introduction to Marxist theory in the May 1919 issue of "New Youth". In it, he also argued that China, while not possessing a significant urban proletariat, could be viewed as an entire nation that had been exploited by capitalist imperialist countries.
