ABSTRACT

Marx’s Grundrisse has circulated for a long time and had a significant impact in China. Initially, only some important fragments of the Grundrisse were introduced into China. As early as 1930, Li Yimang, a theorist and revolutionary of the Chinese Communist Party, translated and edited selected articles by Marx, where the full text of the translation of the ‘Introduction’ appeared for the first time (Marx 1930). Later the ‘Introduction’ was included in the Chinese translations of Marx’s A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy. In 1938 the first publication of the Chinese translation of all of the three volumes of Capital in China was received with much enthusiasm among theorists and numerous readers.
