New Year's Day

Ninghua, Chingliu, Kueihua
What narrow paths, deep woods and slippery moss!
Whither are we bound today?
Straight to the foot of Wuyi Mountain.
To the mountain, the foot of the mountain,
Red flags stream in the wind in a blaze of glory.

Mao Tsé-Tung

1893-12-26 — 1976-09-09 · Shaoshan

Mao Zedong was a Chinese communist revolutionary and the founding father of the People's Republic of China, which he ruled as the chairman of the Communist Party of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976. His political and military strategies, notably Maoism, led the Communist Party to victory in the Chinese Civil War and were instrumental in establishing the PRC. Mao's legacy is complex, characterized by his revolutionary achievements in unifying China and initiating significant social and economic reforms, alongside periods of intense political upheaval and widespread hardship, such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. His thought and actions continue to shape political discourse and historical understanding of modern China.
