Features: Mao Zedong loved mountains throughout his life. His life and pursuits were like a towering mountain, admired by thousands and interpreted for ages. Mao Zedong was born in Shaoshan, founded his revolutionary base in Jinggangshan, and fought battles in Baotashan. However, what Mao Zedong could never forget in his life was Lushan, and what baffled the world or drew various interpretations was Mao Zedong's time in Lushan. The author of this book takes Mao Zedong's four visits to Lushan as the main thread, seeking out nearly one hundred witnesses to major historical events in the People's Republic or those who worked closely with the leaders and celebrities. Following the memories of history, the author vividly portrays the unique and charming contemporary chapters within the profound historical and cultural heritage of Lushan, fully showcasing the diverse figures who appeared on this political stage in Lushan, including leaders and common people, celebrities and ordinary citizens, scientists and laborers, foreign friends and local residents. These trivial and ordinary matters have become history through the refinement of time. The book is filled with numerous precious photographs, most of which come from the collections of ordinary people. These yellowed, aged old photographs, along with the memories buried in their hearts, are presented to a wide readership.
