In the early development of the Communist Party of China, the establishment of workers' schools was one of the key ways for the Party to strengthen the cause of workers' movement. In the period of the great revolution, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions creatively opened a new type of worker school——the Guangzhou Institute of Labor. The newspaper——Road of the Worker (Special Issue), discovered by the organs of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions' Provincial Port Strike Committee during the strike, comprehensively published the beginning and end of the labor institute. Based on these events, this study focused on an in-depth exploration of organizational characteristics of the labor institute. The study found that the institute has a strong sense of "leader" development with the aim of training senior talents in the workers' movement. Under the guidance of the early Communists, the teaching content of the labor institute has always maintained a high theoretical level and formed the practical characteristics represented by clubs and student associations. The labor institute has led development of the workers' education, and the revolutionary philosophy of education it implies is a sign of further maturity of the workers' schools.
