In 1945 after the end of the Second SinoJapanese War, Mao Zedong and members of the Communist Party of China CPC travel to Chongqing for a meeting with Chiang Kaishek and the Kuomintang KMT. With help from the China Democratic League, the Double Tenth Agreement is signed between the KMT and CPC, with both sides agreeing to stop the civil war and to establish a multiparty government in China.The following year, Chiang Kaishek calls for a National Assembly in Nanjing and is elected as President of the Republic of China ROC. At the same time, the peace negotiations between the CPC and KMT fail and the civil war continues. Other political figures such as Zhang Lan, Soong Chingling and Li Jishen, support the CPC because they oppose Chiangs government, even though they are in nonbattleground areas such as Shanghai and Hong Kong. ........
