Features: Comrade Jian Liangkai, based on the internally published book The Ancestry of Mao Zedong—From Yongsheng to Shaoshan, edited by the Propaganda Department of the Yongsheng County Committee of the Communist Party of China, further polished, organized, added some pictures and content, and compiled the book From Yongsheng to Shaoshan—The Ancestry of Mao Zedong. This book comprehensively and profoundly elaborates on and clearly answers the mysteries of Mao Zedong's ancestry that readers have long been eager to uncover: Where is the historical Lanchangwei now? When did Mao Taihua enter Yunnan Lanchangwei? How did he achieve military merit? What ethnic group was his wife, Wang Shi? When did he migrate to Hunan? How many children did he leave behind to inherit the military household in Lanchangwei when migrating? Where are the descendants of Taihua in Yongsheng today? What is the birthplace of the Mao family in Yongsheng? Why are "Western River Prefecture," "Emerging Through the Gate," "Commentary on Classics," "Serving as a Government Official," and "Intelligently Listening to Yi Teachings" considered the heritage classics of the Mao family in Yongsheng? Etc. We believe that readers who read this book will surely be inspired to yearn for Mao Zedong's second hometown—Lanchangwei (now Yongsheng County).
