Japanese & Chinese Literature
Mao Zedong is one of the most controversial leaders of the twentieth century. He has been known both as a savior and a tyrant to the Chinese people. From his tactical success of the Long March to his embarrassing failure of the Great Leap Forward, Mao has greatly influenced the result of what China is today. Most of Mao's major successes have been in the CCP's rise to power, while Mao's failures have come at a time when the CCP was in power. Mao Zedong was born on December 26, 1893 is Shaoshan village in Hunan. He experienced a middle peasant upbringing with a very conservative father. Ironically Mao went to an old-fashioned school where he learned the traditional Chinese curriculum. At this time in his childhood, the whole country could foresee the fall of the previous dynasty. Mao studied to be a teacher at The First Provincial Normal School , in Ch'ansha, which influenced his future thinking and beliefs. Mao believed that the Chinese way of thinking needed reform, therefore focused on younger people and peasants to build his political career. Mao ruled one quarter of the worlds population for one quarter of a century, and the way in which he was brought up and studied influenced his future decisions greatly.

Being in power for such a long period of time, and uniting China to make it stronger was a great accomplishment. In 1952 Mao put into effect what was to be called The Five-Year Plan. For a couple of years Mao wrote on his beliefs and even began organizing groups to share their ideas. This progressed to a volunteer mutual aide unit, where labor, tools, oxen and other animals were shared. Although some of his ideas did not work, he was a great leader and was able to control China absolutely until he was no longer in power. With this studying, the scholar had to write reports on the intellectual progress that they had made and express their opinion in public newspapers. By the 1930s Mao was at the center of the Communist party after its defeat in 1927 by Chiang and the KMT. The Civil in war in China from 1946 to 1949 would see the fall of Chiang and the appointment of Mao as the head of China. After the Three Transformations came the Junior Co-op, where everyone was forced into following the rules of the mutual aid unit. After the long March, and mainly the Tsunyi conference, Mao emerged as the unquestionable leader of the CCP. This resulted in poor service and less business being done. All the businesses and services turned into co-operatives. This was a plan to reform China and its economy and thought processes by was of agricultural development, land reforms and social campaigns. 100,000 communists begin this trek known as the Long March but only 10,000 managed to survive this 6,000-mile migration.
