Yesterday, September 09, is the 40th anniversary of Chairman Mao's death.  I still remember the headline appeared on Taiwan's newspapers the next day of that date 40 years ago, in which Mao was addressed as "bandit".  No wonder was that because Mao's image had long been smeared by Chiang regime in Taiwan.  The ordinary islanders were told, or brainwashed, to believe that there had been millions of people died from various movements during the era of Mao.  But I have to tell you guys that should there be no Chairman Mao, China might have lost much more lives than those disputable figures after 1949. 

Why?  Simply because Chiang betrayed Dr. Sun Yat-sen's doctrine of cooperating with Communists and standing firmly by laborers and peasant.  Furthermore, he also forsook the aim of "down with imperialists, revoke unequal treaties".  Some people may say suppose there were no Chairman Mao and CCP, Chiang and KMT would have somehow built a new China like Mao did as well.  They are wrong.  Chiang and KMT would have most likely succumbed to the pressure from imperialists, say Soviet and US, as the regime had always been doing; thus, China would still be vulnerable to invasion from outside.  Don't argue with me that at least Chiang led China to win the war against Japan; barely he did it at disastrously miserable cost. 

Another reason that Chiang would not succeeded was his compromise with landlords and capitalists, thus China would have continued to be an agricultural state of medieval characters.  No one else would have the courage and will to power in recontructing China from the very bottom except Chairman Mao.  That's what he meant to founding the new China.
