Features: The Selected Works of Mao Zedong contains 803 documents by Mao Zedong, serving as a comprehensive multi-volume collection of Mao's works that reflects the scientific system of Mao Zedong Thought. It fills the gap left by the absence of a selected works collection for Mao during the socialist period. The editing of the Selected Works spanned eight years and was published in three installments. The Selected Works only includes documents with correct or fundamentally correct content. For manuscripts and previously published speeches and records of conversations, the editing work primarily involved verifying historical facts and correcting text and punctuation. For previously unpublished speeches and records of conversations, significant effort was required for technical textual preparation. The annotations in the Selected Works primarily involve explanations of people, events, quotations, documents, etc. They also introduce Mao Zedong's ideological viewpoints related to the main text through annotations or correct inaccuracies. We extensively consulted sources, sought advice from experts, and conducted rigorous research to ensure the annotations were as complete as possible.
