Features: Mao Zedong was the great leader of the Chinese people. He devoted his entire life and all his efforts to the liberation cause of the Chinese people, with the well-being of the entire population in his heart. As the great leader of the Chinese people and a great Marxist, Mao Zedong not only possessed the revolutionary spirit of towering ambition and strategic vision capable of winning battles from afar, as well as the scientific spirit of seeking truth through relentless exploration, but he was also a great Marxist revolutionary, military strategist, and political leader. Moreover, he had a unique philosophy of humanism, making him a great Marxist thinker in the field of humanism.
Mao Zedong grew up in old China, a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, where he witnessed countless instances of human inequality—such as the suffering of those suppressed during the grain riots in Changsha, and the national humiliation of signs reading "No dogs or Chinese allowed." These experiences shaped his ambition to transform the vast suffering of the people into their happiness.
Mao Zedong personally established the new China where the people are masters of their own destiny. He declared, "The Chinese people have now stood up!" He fought tirelessly to secure equal human rights for the broad masses of the people; he nurtured a new generation of individuals who developed morally, intellectually, and physically; and he strived to achieve "common prosperity" for all the Chinese people.
Throughout his life, Mao Zedong devoted himself wholeheartedly to the great struggle of liberating, benefiting, and developing the people, forming his unique humanistic philosophy with distinct national characteristics and style through this practical experience.
