Features: This is a new version of the book "A History of Mao Zedong's Poems" published in 1996. Since it was published in 2004, it is referred to as the "Jia Shen New Edition" to distinguish it from the former version. By the end of 1996, only more than 60 of Mao Zedong's poems had been publicly released. By the end of 2003, the number had increased to more than 70, and more related materials were published subsequently. Therefore, the author of this book made careful additions, revisions, and necessary deletions to the 1996 version. Not only did it enhance the moving stories in the original edition, but it also deepened the grand background of the poems. The book contains 146 poems in total, along with 3 additional essays by the author that are the result of years of research on Mao Zedong's poems and are well worth reading. The previous edition of "A History of Mao Zedong's Poems" was plagiarized word for word by petty works, with the author's name changed and another publisher's name used to publish a counterfeit book in 2002. This book exposes this in the "Preface."
