Features: In the annals of New China, when we turn to the page of the birth of the People's Republic, we often see such scenes: portraits of Mao Zedong and Zhu De are hung side by side on grand buildings, on the solemn rostrum of the grand assembly; everywhere, people hold up the portraits of the two leaders in celebration of victory and in chorus hail liberation; in historical documentaries, we see Mao Zedong and Zhu De walking shoulder to shoulder onto Tiananmen Square, proclaiming the birth of New China to the world. During the blood and fire years of forging the People's Republic, "Zhu Mao" was the banner of the heroic struggle of the Chinese people against domestic and foreign reactionaries. Closing the book and reflecting, the life stories of the two giants remain vivid in our minds. The development of history is often obscure and complex, but we should strive to describe and evaluate it as objectively and impartially as possible.
