Features: In the late 19th century, Shaoshan in China gave birth to a great leader, Mao Zedong. In the 1970s of the 20th century, Mao Zedong passed away, bidding farewell to the people who loved him and the revolutionary cause he cherished. Today, Yangtze Literature and Art Publishing House proudly launches the "Figures That Mao Zedong Admired" series, with the aim of commemorating the great leader Mao Zedong and the revolutionary achievements he pursued, encouraging people to study and inherit Mao Zedong Thought, transforming his profound and extensive ideas into our immense spiritual wealth, and applying our excellent traditions and wisdom in building socialism with Chinese characteristics. This will guide the ship of the new China smoothly to the glorious shore of four modernizations in the light of the new century. This is both the wish of the author of this book and the wish of the chief editor of this book. There is much to say about Mao Zedong. During his lifetime, Mao Zedong commented on numerous Chinese and foreign figures in his writings and various settings. Among the figures he commented on, there were emperors, generals, scholars, and artists; there were world-renowned figures and literary giants. This publishing house has classified and organized the main figures commented on by Mao Zedong, compiling them into the "Figures That Mao Zedong Admired" series, consisting of 11 volumes. This book comments on 26 figures, including Sun Yat-sen, Li Dazhao, Zhang Guotao, and Wang Jingwei. Each commented figure is organized in the format of a brief introduction, Mao Zedong's original comments, and a short biography of the person being commented on. The editors say that compiling this series aims to "summarize historical experience and popularize historical knowledge."
