解放战争时期,毛泽东不但把华侨作为统一战线的重要组成部分,而且非常注重发挥其特殊作用。毛泽东给华侨的复电,明确将华侨看作是反对内战专制、争取“和平民主”的重要力量。通过解读毛泽东与华侨往来的文电,可以看出这一时期华侨与国共两党关系的变化。可以说这一时期是华侨与国共两党关系变化的一个分水岭。这些电文充分说明,华侨当时与中国共产党有着“共同的政治基础”,他们对人民解放战争和新中国的建立作出了重要贡献。 During the War of Liberation, Mao Zedong not only regarded overseas Chinese as an important part of the united front, but also paid great attention to giving play to its special role. Mao Zedong rebukes the overseas Chinese and explicitly views the overseas Chinese as an important force against the tyranny of civil war and for “peaceful democracy.” By reading the telegrams between Mao Zedong and overseas Chinese, we can see the changes of the relations between the overseas Chinese and the KMT and the CPC during this period. It can be said that this period is a watershed between the changes in the relations between the Chinese and KMT parties. These messages fully demonstrated that overseas Chinese had a “common political foundation” with the Chinese Communist Party at that time and they made important contributions to the People’s Liberation War and the founding of New China.
