This book is a reference book for students learning Mao Zedong
Thought in universities and colleges in China and for theoreticians
and researchers studying it in Party schools, theoretical publicity
bodies and academic research institutes from Mainland China. It
offers an objective, equitable, and comprehensive introduction and
assessments on the past and latest achievements in the study of Mao
Zedong Thought in China and foreign countries and on the
controversial issues in the study. When deciding on the English
edition of this book, we have aimed to deliver the global reader a
complete picture on how Mao Zedong and Mao Zedong's ideology is
evaluated and studied in today's China. It is a representative book
of its kind and also reflects how the mainland Chinese scholars
have evaluated foreign studies on Mao Zedong. Thus we hope the book
will encourage more exchanges on Mao Zedong studies worldwide. The
book also offers a comprehensive and systematic study material and
factual information for those interested in the history of Marxism
in China. The book was written by a team work and young and
middle-aged scholars teaching and studying Mao Zedong Thought and
the history of the Communist Party of China at the Department of
History of the Communist Party of China in Renmin University of
China, have contributed to it. Mao Zedong one of the most
charismatic Marxist political leaders of the world, has affected
the path of China, region and the world. As a large country with an
unimaginable population China had been an important object of world
politics, then it became a subject acting for itself this was
mainly initiated by two persons and two parties, Sun-Yat-Sen and
KMT; Mao and CPC. But, Sun-Yat-Sen was an unfortunate man, he could
not see his ideals being realized for his people and country and
the party he had established -KMT remains as one of the capitalist
ruling parties in Taiwan Island. Mao Zedong could also not see all
what he desired. The Cultural Revolution had proceeded in a totally
different direction. Some of his ideals would not fit the practice
of today's Chinese socialism. Yang Fengcheng, the compiler of this
comprehensive book offers enough evidence that studies in China
over Mao Zedong himself and his ideology has remarkably improved
and being institutionalized after that evaluation and in 1990s.
Yang Fengcheng and his colleagues have presented a large catalogue
of new research findings and debates among scholars and experts
studying in this sphere. These abundant and thought provoking
materials surely offer a broad vision for a wide range of related
people including scholars, politicians and activists. It will be
impossible to understand today's and future China without
understanding Mao Zedong and the CPC. Mao Zedong had made the
deepest effect in China's life and readers may find solid evidence
that this will be valid for a long time to come. Mao Zedong, was
the first man who had seen the major future trend of socialist
movement in the world, that it should be firmly rooted in a
country's soil and integrated with the people's practice in that
country. But this new idea in a certain period of time in the
history had caused a big turbulence and sharp conflicts in the
socialist movement and was of a great political significance. Being
a part of the conflict hurts every side and confuses people and
sometimes conflicts become unavoidable. The book also offers some
material how this issue was later evaluated and reviewed and set in
the right direction by the CPC. Study of main trends, ideas and
leaders are important component of country studies. As the root
ideology of China's Marxism, which leads the country, the new
trends in Mao Zedong Thought studies will remain to be important.
This book offers a rare opportunity, as it is the first English
published book by authoritative Chinese authors on this subject
with the newest information.
