Delegates from different Communist groups: Mao Zedong, Dong Biwu, Li Da, He Shuheng, Chen Tanqiu and Wang Jinmei, altogether 13 members, came over to attend the meeting to discuss the Party of China. During the meeting, owing to the interruption by spies from the French police, the meeting had to be cancelled and later resumed in a boat on the Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing Country, Zhejiang Province.
