Features: A real Mao Zedong, a wise Mao Zedong, an unknown Mao Zedong. Get closer to Mao Zedong, learn from Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong seems to have become an endless topic, even though he has been gone for nearly 30 years, and despite the huge changes in people and the world, people still often discuss him enthusiastically and read various books about him with great interest. This book guides readers through the perspectives of ordinary people—secretaries, military advisors, guards, doctors, nurses, cipher clerks, administrators, cooks, stewards, drivers, photojournalists, and others who worked with Mao Zedong at different times—to touch his inner world more authentically, comprehensively, and swiftly, and to vividly recreate his work, life, and emotions.
