] "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, following the "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" volumes 1 to 4. It fills the gap left by the absence of a selected works collection for Mao Zedong during the socialist period. The editorial work of the "Collected Works" spanned 8 years and was published in three installments. The collection only includes documents with correct or basically correct content. For manuscripts and previously published speeches or records of conversations, the editorial work primarily involved verifying historical facts and correcting text and punctuation. For unpublished speeches or records of conversations, significant effort was required for technical textual editing. The annotations in the "Collected Works" mainly pertain to people, 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.
