To us Chinese, Mao Zedong is our hero.

Mao uplifted farmers and the working class in China, united the Chinese people, led us to defeat foreign invaders, and founded an independent country so we could all live with dignity.

Mao supported the heroic struggle of the African people against imperialism and colonialism.

He was one of the greatest leaders in world history, and one of the most demonized by the West.
