    Mao Zedong was a key leader of the Communist Party of China. He led the New Democratic Revolution, overthrowing the feudal and semi-colonial regime, and established the People’s Republic of China in 1949, achieving national unification and independence.The land reform abolished land ownership by landlords, redistributing land to peasants and boosting agricultural productivity. Additionally, Mao initiated social reforms such as promoting basic education and improving public health.During Mao’s leadership, policies like the "First Five-Year Plan" laid the groundwork for industrialization. Despite the low level of economic development at the time, these efforts facilitated the growth of heavy industries and infrastructure.Mao’s ideas and actions inspired many national liberation movements in developing countries and had a profound impact on global struggles against colonialism and imperialism.Mao Zedong is regarded as a transformative figure in modern Chinese history. His contributions lie in founding the People’s Republic of China and promoting social reforms, while his policy mistakes had far-reaching consequences for society and the economy.As Deng Xiaoping aptly remarked when evaluating Mao, his achievements are "primary," while his errors are "secondary." Mao’s ideas and actions profoundly influenced the course of Chinese history, offering valuable experiences and lessons for future generations.

The best place to travel to China this season is Harbin, where the world is. Remember to wear your thickest clothes at the largest ice and snow playground. Welcome to China again.

      We went to a coffee chain called Manner (in Shanghai and Beijing) and they always had oat milk. Most coffee places actually offered plant based milk alternatives! It’s either stated in the menu or we just asked if they had any

    In Beijing, there are more than 500 kilometers of the ancient Great Wall, for the safety of tourists, only a few sections have been repaired to allow tourists to visit, you choose to visit the farthest from the city, the least number of tourists Jinshanling Great Wall is a right choice, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery alone.
    I hope there will be more such friendly foreign friends to visit China.

    Although the buildings don't look the best, the resident prices are high due to good locations and schools nearby with solid education quality. The average house price of Xicheng District, where the financial district is located, is 152,250 RMB/square meter (19,914 Euros) in terms of new houses, and 125,926 RMB/square meter (16,470 Euros) in terms of second-hand houses.

    As a Beijinger, welcome to my hometown, there are a few tips for you to welcome you to visit again, 1. Cycling through Tian 'anmen Square is a great choice, night or day. 2. Qianmen da shilan, a pedestrian street with Beijing style, is just across Tiananmen Square. 3. Between Tian 'anmen Square and your hotel is the famous Xidan Commercial Street in Beijing. 4. You may have heard of the Temple of Heaven Park, but do you know? The Temple of moon Park is about 500 meters to the west of your hotel. 5. Your hotel is located in Beijing Financial Street, which is very beautiful and luxurious, but 30 years ago this was one of the slums in Beijing. You are welcome to visit Beijing again. You have not completed one tenth of Beijing this time😅.

      @@vErVe75 If you are a young foreign tourist, I suggest you choose to live in the north or east of Beijing between the second Ring Road and the Fourth Ring Road and near the subway station, because there are places that young people are interested in during the day and night, and many chain hotels with good value for money. For example, the Olympic area, CBD, Sanlitun and Houhai Bar Street, 798 Art Factory, many shopping areas and other relatively new activity places, as well as the Huazhu Club, Orange Hotel, Greentree Inn Hotel, Home Inn, 7 Days Hotel, Jinjiang Star and other chain hotels (according to personal preference). If you like old Beijing style, south of the Second Ring Road is for you. The west side is more suitable for people who like nature or military themes, because the west side was a more prosperous center in the 1960s and 1970s. Old-school attractions such as the Great Wall, Summer Palace and Fragrant Hills are mostly concentrated outside the northwest Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, but there is no need to live there because it is just a scenic spot. If you don't have a budget, you can also stay in the second Ring Road, there are many four or five star hotels. If you are also a transit 144-hour visa and do not want to stay only in the bustling city and want to climb the Great Wall, I suggest you can go to the "Gubei Water Town" 100 kilometers northeast of Beijing or two hours by car, where you can visit the southern style houses and climb the Simatai Great Wall, accommodation from a few hundred yuan to five-star hotels, If you encounter snow weather is quite beautiful, but to go here requires a certain travel experience, unlike the city transportation is convenient, but there are many options such as trains, buses, taxis or tour groups. I hope it helps.😊😊😊

    Did Mao Zedong intentionally kill people? In the 1950s, three serious natural disasters occurred after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Then, the previous regime, Chiang Kai-shek, stole all the national treasury and national treasures and took them to Taiwan. Strictly speaking, the national treasury and national treasures were not the property of the Kuomintang. Also, in 1950, war broke out on the Korean Peninsula, and American fighter jets frequently bombed Chinese border cities. In this situation, the Chinese military launched a counterattack to protect the motherland and the people. In this situation, the national treasury was empty, war was underway, and serious natural disasters were occurring one after another, so what could a chairman of a state do ???
