Features: Introduction       Since Mao Zedong appeared in China with his towering figure, people have been increasingly concerned about him, eager to understand what kind of person he truly was. As early as the mid-1930s, when the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was almost isolated from the world due to the Nationalists' "encirclement campaigns," American journalist Edgar Snow, relying on his limited but direct understanding, tried to write about how Mao Zedong, the son of a southern Chinese peasant, became the "leader of Red China." What he did can be said to be a rather rough introduction, whether in China or in the world.
