Mao Zedong: The Legacy of China's Chairman

Skygaze examines the complex and controversial figure behind the Chinese Revolution

From Farmer's Son to Revolutionary Leader

Born in Hunan Province, Mao Zedong came from humble beginnings but became swept up in anti-imperial, Marxist ideology in the early 20th century. He co-founded the Chinese Communist Party in 1921 and rose through revolutionary struggle, eventually establishing the People's Republic of China in 1949.

The Great Leap Forward

Launched in 1958, this campaign aimed to rapidly industrialize China and collectivize agriculture. However, the policies were poorly planned and brutally enforced, leading to one of the deadliest famines in human history. Estimated deaths range from 15 to 45 million.

The Cultural Revolution

Beginning in 1966, Mao's campaign to purge capitalist and traditional elements created chaos. Intellectuals were persecuted, historic artifacts destroyed, and millions sent to re-education camps. The decade-long movement destabilized China and deeply scarred a generation.

A Legacy Still Debated

Mao remains a divisive figure. In modern China, he is officially credited with unifying the nation and laying its industrial foundations. Yet globally, his policies are blamed for tens of millions of deaths. His image still appears on currency - a symbol of both pride and pain. Skygaze invites readers to examine the paradox of Mao Zedong's enduring mythos.
