China haunted by Mao's myth
2013-12-26
That a man under house arrest in Beijing can publish this is remarkable:

The 20th century saw three great political myths. The myths of Hitler and Stalin have been annihilated, but the myth of Mao Zedong still haunts China today.

It won't be hard to give a comprehensive evaluation of Mao Zedong, so we can get a clear picture of what he actually achieved.

#3  They raised three generations to believe in the myth, they can let isolated people like this rant without worrying that it's going to affect anything.
