Analysis: Mao Zedong was an outstanding representative of Chinese history, his experience is a microcosm of the history of the last century the Chinese people to fight endless. Mao Zedong from the bottom of Chinese society, which is the most populous peasant class. In essence, he is a farmer's son, is also great to come out from China's rural land of. He has repeatedly said to others: "I am a farmer's son, a young age through the lives of farmers." Him, retains the life characteristics of the farmers; retained in his mind, deep thoughts and feelings with the farmers.



Although Mao Zedong was born in isolated villages, but his hobby is reading and studying books broadened his horizons and increase his talent. From young people from, there is a sense of mission, very confident. 1910, Mao Zedong, 16-year-old left home to Xiangxiang Dongshan primary school, the line before copying a Japanese politician Xixianglongsheng poetry to express his determination: "the baby is determined to a village close to not learn the famous vow also resting why their homeland to life everywhere Castle Peak. "The major mission of Mao Zedong, the face of the poor and the weak situation in the Chinese society in modern times, a firm confidence in the future to grasp the fate of Chinese history from their generation to bear. Xiangjiang shore he often stood with like-minded students, and wrote pointing Jiangshan Jiyangwenzi, dirt, then ten thousand Hou "," ask the invisible world, Who Controls  Pride Zhuang. May Fourth Movement, he loudly declared in the article "The public association": the world is our world, country by country, social, our society. We do not say, Who says  If we do not, who did  "



Mao Zedong's life is not a smooth road, his ideas, words and deeds had not been understood, accepted, he has repeatedly experienced the strike, dismissal and other adversity. But his ambition determined, strong-willed and good at summing up, move on. December 26, 1960, is a 67-year-old birthday of Mao Zedong. 25, Mao Zedong, a dinner with some of the relatives and work colleagues. Dinner, he talked about people can not float above the old, to sink to engage in survey research, when it comes to the "no pressure is not progress". At this time, he said: "I received pressure, three major punishment 'is expelled from the party', the revocation of military will not let me command of the army will not let me participate in the leadership of the party and I in a house, two or three years, a ghost is not home, I do not find anyone, that I engage in sectarianism, what Deng, Mao Tse, the ancient fact, I even Comrade Deng Xiaoping's face is not seen later in the Wuhan seen, but I do not remember nor may be seen not spoken it! when I wear the 'hat' more to say what the mountains could not of Marxism-Leninism, we have only been in town out of Marxism-Leninism, but they do not research, I was not born in the mountains, I am also the first in the city, and later to the mountains to tell the truth, I engage in a few years in the mountains than they were a little too much experience in the mountains. They say I am always right opportunism, narrow empiricism, the barrel of a gun 'when I had nothing to do, always sat in the stretcher, and what to do  I read, he lifted his stretcher, I read my book. they criticize me, saying that war I speak of the "Three Kingdoms" and "Art of War" command. In fact, "The Art of War" I have not read; "Three Kingdoms" I've seen a few times, but in relation to a combat command, who I remember "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and all forgot, I ask them, since you said I was directing operations in accordance with the" Art of War ", surely you must be familiar with the, then I ask a total of several volumes of" The Art of War "  the beginning of the first chapter is  them speechless. original, they simply have not seen! came to northern Shaanxi, I read eight books, read "The Art of War", Clausewitz's book looked at drill book, written by the Japanese military also saw, saw the Soviet people to write on the strategy, several branches of the military with combat book when looking at these, is to write the strategic issues of the Revolutionary War, in order to summarize the Revolutionary War the experience. "

Mao Zedong believed that, as long as a person to do the work, which did not make mistakes. Marxism have made mistakes, if you do not make mistakes, why their manuscripts are often changed and changed it  Is because the original some of the views is not entirely correct, is not so complete, accurate, he repeatedly stresses that he also made mistakes. In January 1962, he "七千人大会" said sincerely: "Anything that the central mistake, directly under my responsible, indirectly, I had the baby, because I was the chairman of the Central I do not want others to shirk their responsibilities. the other comrades, but the first should be responsible for me. "added:" If someone says, what a comrade, for example any of the comrades of the central example, I own, for the laws of the Chinese revolution, in a the beginning fully aware of it is bragging, you remember not to believe it, 'Not at all. "



In September 1959, Mao said at a meeting, people are not saints without faults. I am also a very inadequate. Quite some time, I do not like my own. Knowledge of Marxism, did not learn. Foreign text, did not learn to pass. Economic work, just begun to learn. But I am determined to learn, die endlessly. For these, I have to be changed, but also aggressive. Until then, see Marx's time, my mood will smooth some.
