Zhang was sent to the Russian Far East in 1921 to make a report to the Comintern for the Chinese Communist Party.[1] Zhang then studied in Moscow for a few years. However, when he went back to China, he became hostile to the others who had returned to China in 1924.[2]

Zhang emphasized the role of an army that is created out of bandits, the poorest peasants, paupers, and rural lumpenproletarian elements.
