Features: The Collected Works of Mao Zedong includes 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 during the socialist period. The compilation of the Collected Works spanned eight years and was published in three installments. Only documents with correct or fundamentally correct content were selected. For manuscripts and previously published speeches or records of conversations, the editorial work primarily involved verifying historical facts and correcting text and punctuation. For previously unpublished speeches or records of conversations, significant effort was devoted to technical textual editing. The annotations in the Collected Works primarily concern individuals, events, quotations, documents, and so on. They also introduce Mao Zedong's ideological viewpoints related to the main text through annotations or correct inaccuracies. We extensively consulted materials, sought advice from experts, and conducted rigorous research to ensure the annotations were as complete as possible.
