Publish Date: 2006-04-01
Features: Between 1998 and 1999, the author spent more than 50 days in two trips, traveling over 100,000 kilometers to conduct field investigations in the revolutionary bases of China and the places where Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping were born, lived, and engaged in revolutionary activities. This book is based on the historical materials from the author's field investigations, telling the stories of the three great leaders and sharing the author's unique feelings and thoughts. As the author states in the text: "If Mao Zedong is a mountain, then Zhou Enlai is water, and Deng Xiaoping is a path. Climbing the mountain, wading through the water, and exploring the path are the journey that modern China has taken." This is how a foreign author sees Mao Zedong, and also the purpose of publishing this book.
