Features: On December 26, 2003, it was the 110th anniversary of the birth of the great leader Mao Zedong. Though he has passed away, his merits and demerits are still debated by people. He was an outstanding strategist, a heroic figure with unyielding spirit, a man of deep affection, and a respectable and admirable person. Opinions vary. As early as the 1930s, the American journalist Anna Louise Strong keenly pointed out that Mao Zedong was first and foremost a poet. This book strives to present a more authentic and profound portrayal of the great leader and poet Mao Zedong's "background" and deeper world, featuring the following aspects:
A. Perspective: Taking his life and poetry as the warp and woof, it employs a scattered perspective to integrate poetic and humanistic elements, incorporating multiple research methods to explore the connection between historical context and contemporary value.
B. Language: Discussing the poet's life and world in poetic language, the style is profound and grand, blending emotion and reason.
C. Illustrations: Selecting over 100 photographs that depict the life of Mao Zedong, many of which are rarely seen. Additionally, the book includes recently confirmed important poems and lyrics of Mao Zedong, all meticulously proofread.
