The Birthday of Mao Zedong---A Specail Christmas in China.

The 25th December of every year is the Christmas day in the Western countries, which is the same day 26th December when the sun raises in the east. On the 26th December 1893, there is a great man was born in Hunan, the person is Mao Zedong who is not only the Chairmen of China but also the statetman, militarist and poet. 

When China emerged from a half century of revolution as the world’s most populous nation and launched itself on a path of economic development and social change, Mao Zedong occupied a critical place in the story of the country’s resurgence. Looking at the whole period from the foundation of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921 to Mao’s death in 1976, one can fairly regard Mao Zedong as the principal architect of the new China.

The history will remember Mao and the Chinese people also. Undoubtedly, for Mao occupies a historical position comparable to individuals such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Qin Shihuangdi—these individuals were a frustrating mix of good and bad, but they all left a distinctive imprint on their own historical ages. 

The western Christmas was coming and this year is the 122nd of Mao's birthday. Hope this article could let you know a different Christmas day in China.
