Features: This book was published nearly a decade ago and is my first monograph on Mao Zedong research. At that time, the author had only been engaged in Mao Zedong research for about four years and had to start with the field they were previously familiar with—cultural personality—to analyze Mao Zedong. Perhaps, precisely because of this unique perspective, combined with the fresh insights and distinctive discussion style characteristic of the early stages of Mao Zedong research, the book attracted considerable attention from readers and some friends in academia after its publication. Therefore, although if the topic were to be rewritten today, the understanding would be deeper and the materials more abundant, it seems there has been no regret for being an "early work." On the contrary, there is instead a special sense of appreciation.
