Background

Born into a wealthy administrative family of devout Buddhists, Mao Zedong was afforded the rare luxury for the majority of Chinese at the time to a formal Western and Eastern schooling education at Changsha, capital of the Hunan province.

Under the 1903 Treaty of Shanghai between China and Japan, the Changsha was forced to be opened up to foreign trade - consequently during the years of Mao's schooling, the city underwent boom times for new schools, factories, buildings and ideas.

Neither a gifted student nor athlete, the studies of young Mao (at aged 18) were briefly interrupted by the 1911 Revolution. Contrary to the fanciful mythology attributed to Mao, he did not suddenly transform from bookworm to soldier for one year to help fight on the side of the revolutionaries. Instead, he returned home until the revolution was over, returning to Changsha to the and then returned to his studies a the Hunan Number 1 Teachers' Training School from 1913 to 1918.

After graduating in 1918, Mao was given a letter of introduction to apply for entrance into the exclusive Peking University by a friend of his father whose name was Professor Yang Changji. Unfortunately, Mao Zedong was deemed not to have the academic grades necessary for eligibility - a bitter disgrace that affected his opinion of the intelligensia class for the rest of his life.

Not wishing to expose the disgrace to his family, Mao remained at Peking University working in the Library for two years until his failure was exposed and he was forced to return home.

In 1920, Mao's family succeeded in finding him work as a teacher at the same school where he had been a student (Hunan Number 1 Teachers' Training School) from 1920 to 1922. Again, contrary to the mythology surrounding Mao - given his lack academic skill it is extremely doubtful he was ever made principal.

The family disgrace of being refused acceptance into Peking University continued to change Mao. He became engrossed in political and revolutionary philosophy and even attended as an observer to the first session of the National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai in July 1921.

Contrary to all propaganda, Mao did not first join the communists. Instead he remained indecisive until in 1924 he chose to the join the Chinese Nationalist Party - Kuomintang (KMT) instead - successfully elected as a local delegate to the first National Conference.

However, Mao suffered his second great life humilation when he failed to impress and was allocated only minimal responsibilities. Mao returned from Shanghai to Shaoshan within a few months. Later this second disgrace was deliberately modified to claim Mao was elected to the executive of the Shanghai branch.

However, after the uprisings of 1925 in Shanghai and Guangzhou, his political ambitions returned after he was assigned a job working in the propaganda office of the Chinese Nationalist Party. It was this role, more than any that convinced Mao he could succeed in politics even though he had failed in a successful professional career.

Within two years of working as a propaganda official for the Chinese Nationalist Party, Mao left in disgust on account of the rampant corruption between land barons and the party- to keep the Chinese peasants under control.

Mao now devoted himself to becoming a communist revolutionary and joining the communist party. The only problem was that by 1927 he was known as a professional propagandist of the sworn enemy of the communist party- the Chinese Nationalist Party. The fact he wasn't killed is probably testiment to the influence and respect of his father.

Undeterred, Mao began dressing himself and starting to act as a revolutionary - choosing the simple dress of the peasants, instead of expensive clothes of the style to which he had been born. Later that same year (1927), Mao sought to prove his worthiness to the communists by staging the famous Autumn Harvest Uprising in Changsha, Hunan as commander-in-chief.

The uprising was a complete failure and Mao was lucky to escape into the Jinggang Mountains. However, the event forever changed Mao and growing in confidence, Mao persuaded local insurgents to join with him in creating the "Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of China - or Red Army.

In an act of defiance against the communists who had spurned him years earlier, Mao's skill as a guerilla leader grew until in 1931, he proclaimed the establishment of the Soviet Republic of China within the mountains of Jiangxi.

This firstly enraged the communist leadership who sought to have Mao captured and killed. In response, Mao became even more authoritative and extreme in his methods to ensure absolute loyalty of his followers. During this period, some 180,000+ people were killed by the forces of Mao - many under extreme torture and barbarity.

By June 1932, the Red Army had no less than 45,000 soldiers and 200,000 militia - forcing the communist party to accept the leadership of Mao. The growing popularity and promises of Mao of land reform for the peasants finally forced the Chinese Nationalist Party Government of Chiang Kai-shek to act, mobilizing nearly one million soldiers to eliminate Mao and the Red Army.

As the forces of the Chinese Nationalist Army encircled more and more camps of the communists, the leadership sought to distance themselves from Mao and under Zhou Enlai staged a coup. However, the brief removal of Mao did nothing to halt the actions of the Chinese Nationalist Army against the communists and Mao returned stronger than ever by 1934 following his "Long March" to escape capture.

At the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the forces of the Chinese Nationalists were severely weakened. By the end of World War II, Mao has consolidated himself into an absolute position over all communist party members. By 1949, after nearly a 20 year civil war and Japanese invasion, the People's Republic of China was formed- Mao as first Chairman.

Upon assuming office as absolute ruler over all of China, Mao immediately set to work exacting revenge for the personal disgraces of his earlier life - top of his list being intellectuals and professionals, quickly followed by former supporters of the Chinese Nationalist Party and then any other group or person who posed a threat.

There can be no doubt that this period destroyed the economy of China and directly contributed to the deaths of millions on top of the estimated five million executed in death camps.

But the greatest loss of life under Mao came during the next period 1958-1962 under the perverse name "Great Leap Forward" in which Mao - convinced of his own academic brilliance- forced insane, untested work and farming practices upon the Chinese people causing the deaths of up to 72 millions of innocent peasants - making Mao the single greatest mass murderer in human history.

The misery finally came to an end in 1962, when Mao was forced to relinquish much of his operational control - instead relegated to a figurehead.
