      What did Mao Zedong really say?

      The Beginning

      This man Mao Zedong brought a country of five hundred and forty million peasant people into the modern world. He did it after half a century of war and civil war. He used a mixture of nationalism and communism to bind the people together. He led the Chinese communist party for forty two years.

      The Kuomintang army now backed by communist marched against them. Mao later went to the province of Kiangsi to organize a peasant army. There in Kiangsi he was confirmed in his belief that the Chinese
