In 1941,in order to change the state of the party's theory separating from reality,Mao Zedong organized and published the book Rural Surveys,which provided the direction for survey and research of the party members. The survey and research are excellent tradition and style of work of the party,and also a major weapon for outstanding achievements in China's revolution and construction. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. Studying the Rural Surveys has important practical value for beating off the new challenges in the issues concerning agriculture,farmers,and rural areas.展开更多

The gifted predictive power ofMao Zedong was not baseless, and nor did it fall from the shy, which was inseparable from Mao Zedong's personalities. It was his product to be long engaged in the researches and investigations, the revolutionary struggle and other social practice, which was also the individual character endowed by the basic principles of the dialectical materialism and the historical materialism. The college students should cultivate their accurate predictive abilities, correctly plan their life. and rationally arrange their lives, studies and work, to contribute their youth to building the socialism with the Chinese characteristics.展开更多

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he created and continuously improved the socialist economic system and the corresponding political system, led the large-scale socialist economic, political and cultural construction, established the institutional preconditions, ideological guarantees and material basis for socialism with Chinese characteristics, and brouglat about a favorable external environment for China's socialist construction. During this process, Mao originated a series of theories about China's socialist construction. In proposing to achieve the second combination of the universal truth of Marxism with China's realities and to go China's own way and explore a path of building socialism which suits China's national conditions and has Chinese characteristics, he madea great theoretical contribution to the history of China's socialist development. His ideas provided ample ideological gestation and theoretical preparation for the second historic leap of the sinicization of Marxism. They served not only as the starting point of the history and logic of the theory, road and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics but also as one of the guiding principles of China's revolution, construction and reform. Mao's exploration left us with experience of success and lessons from mistakes, both of which enabled us to store up valuable experience and important inspiration for today's construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Therefore, whether in terms of historical practice or theoretical logic, Mao is the great founder, explorer and pioneer of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.展开更多

Taking national interests and the pursuit of sovereignty as its logical starting point, the law of the unity of opposites as its philosophical basis, the background of the Cold War as its historical platform, and opposition to hegemony as its diplomatic strategy, Mao Zedong advanced the well-known "three worlds" theory. As a hallmark achievement of China's diplomatic strategy and international relations theory, Mao's "three worlds" theory has a very special value for the times, especially with regard to its philosophy and principles in areas such as the principles of international ethics and justice, discourse power and national image, security mechanisms and strategic partnerships, and interdependence and cultural transcendence, all of which are precious ideological resources that we should cherish.展开更多

Mao advocated differentiation between principal and secondary contradictions and between the principal and secondary aspects of a contradiction; but more importantly, he also emphasized that each can transform into its opposite under certain conditions and attached considerable importance to the "quintessence" of a contradiction, ideas which are alien to traditional Western dialectics. This makes Mao's dialectics distinctive, so that it constitutes a model of the integration (not without tension) of Chinese and Western patterns of thinking. A deeper understanding of this model will be of great benefit to the revival and development of contemporary Chinese philosophy.展开更多

The present research examines the historical, social as well as political aspects of the identity crisis and the CPC was suffering from in its adventurous efforts to chart a course for the socialist transformation of China. It was tempted to resume its leadership role in the revolution given the mounting tension generated by the Cold War and the prevailing revolutionary beliefs within the Party. Nevertheless, it was obliged to restore the country's social and political order after the sweeping national reform. In search of an adequate interpretation for the various attempts the Party made in exploring its refreshed identity, hence resolving the crisis, the study focuses on a similar crisis which befell the Party leader, Mao Zedong, in his own struggle against the con- fusion caused by his potentially double role as the head of both a founding and a ruling party. The study suggests that Mao's misidentification of his own political role inevitably led to the Party's dysfunctions, and closer investigation into the leader's personal dilemma offers new insight into such tragic events as the Anti- Rightist Movement, the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution.展开更多

This paper, by analyzing nine versions of Mao Zedong's poems from its form, choice of words, imagery and meters, finds that Prof. Li Zheng-shuan's version has reproduced both the lyrical and spiritual effects in the translation: Looking at it, it's pleasant to the eyes; listening to it, it's agreeable to the ear; thinking about it, it's penetrating to the mind; reading it, it's flowing fluently on the tongue展开更多
