Features: Mao Zedong, the son of a farmer, in simple cotton clothes, entered the capital. He gazed at the magnificent Golden Hall with red walls and golden tiles and told Zhou Enlai, "We will also build a luxurious 'living room' for the people!" Zhou Enlai readily accepted the task. Li Ruihuan, Zhang Baifa, and others used their skillful hands to forge the grandeur of the Great Hall of the People.
