If you look at how Chinese people understand the Chinese revolution, their timeline starts at the beginning of the Century of Humiliation. In total, they went through:
feudal rebellion (Taiping rebellion)
feudal reforms (Self-Strengthening Movement)
spontaneous anti-imperialist struggle (Boxer rebellion)
bourgeois revolution (Xinhai revolution)
student-led uprising (May 4th Movement)
social democracy (Sun Yat-sen's KMT and the Three Principles of the People)
right-wing nationalism (Chiang Kai-shek's KMT)
civil war (Chinese Civil War)
anti-imperialist war (Second Sino-Japanese War)
Before even arriving at Communist revolution, and even with the CPC, there's pre-Mao CPC which tried to copy the Soviets and Mao-era CPC that was able to forge their own path through the painful lessons learned from everything up to that point. The Chinese masses also politically developed and matured so that while the Chinese masses of the 1850s century thought a new feudal dynasty with a new emperor was sufficient, the Chinese masses after a century of political development and maturation understood the necessity of socialism.
