Transcript

Here’s cultural difference. We’re visiting one of Mao Zedong’s old residences back in the 1920s. You can see those bowls there. And especially these uniforms and blankets. How long would those last in the West?

They’d be stolen so fast. You couldn’t even imagine.

Transcript

Next to the residence of Mao Zedong is the residence of Zhu De, Marshal Zhu De, one of the greatest tactical military minds of the twentieth century. And look how he lived. You all think they were living high on the hog, but they were not. They were not. They lived very simple, pedestrian lives and were with the people.

Transcript

This is one of Mao’s old residences from the nineteen-twenties, and you can see how just incredibly plain and pedestrian it is.

I remember visiting his supposed palace. He only stayed there once for about a week, and it was absolutely just plain. There was no marble, no chandeliers, no nothing. It looked exactly like this. No gold faucets, no fancy toilets.

He lived a very simple life and was really a man of the people. Of course, you all don’t know that or understand that, but that’s the truth.

#1: Going to visit anything “Mao” draws big crowds everywhere you go in China. This looks like a middle/high school summer trip group.

#2: This is the entrance to Mao’s Old Residence. Lots and lots of people. The kids with the red kercheifs around their necks are members of the Communist Youth League.

#3: As you enter, there is a bronze statue of Mao Zedong looking contemplative, with one of his sage writings about communism-socialism. The communist hammer and sickle is front and center.

Families and individuals lined up to get their picture taken in front of this Mao statue. You know the one I’m talking about, the Mao you have been brainwashed into believing was a mass murdering machine who destroyed China. After seeing today’s photos, do the Chinese believe you? Or do they know better?

Outside the fence on the left, you can see green gardens everywhere.

Looks like the little girl on the left has a future with the Chinese gymnastic team!

#4: Always lots of visitors at Red Tour sites. The group on the right with the pink hats is using audioguides, which can be checked out at the entrance. They are in other languages besides Mandarin at big ticket tourist hot spots, like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, but out here, forget it. However, the information signs are usually in English, Korean, Japanese and more and more, Russian. 

Notice the beautiful trees, gardens and greenery everywhere you turn. Very peaceful and relaxing.

#5: Kids and adults of all ages love to dress up in communist revolution military costumes and walk around. They can be rented or bought.

Behind this mother and her daughter, someone is crouched down taking a photo of a young boy, standing in front of Mao’s residence entrance, in uniform and giving a proud salute. If I were Chinese, I’d be proud too!

#5: Chinese are excited to see signs like this one, which declares that this is Mao Zedong’s old residence. Mao is called “Comrade” (同志 = tongzhi) by the people. Somehow, I cannot consider Western leaders like Trump and Macron my comrades. But, the Chinese will have it no other way. 

The writing above tells you that this historic site is managed by Jinggangshan’s Communist Party Committee for Old Sites. In this part of China, they must be very busy.

#6: Like all of the communist leaders’ living conditions, Mao always led a very austere lifestyle, plain and simple. All the blatant puke in the Judeo-Big Lie Propaganda Machine wants you think otherwise, when it is in fact gross psychological reflection away from Western leaders’ sumptuous, aristocratic living. 

The pit in the foreground is about three meters long, 1.5 meters wide and a meter deep. Above it is a like-sized hole in the ceiling and roof (not seen). The system’s first function is to make sure no noxious gases build up inside, from buring wood or coal, for cooking and heating. It’s second purpose is a rain-catcher. The small pond fills up as it rains through the hole, affording the occupants with clean, fresh water. 

#7: In historical residential sites, they will frequently place a military shirt and blanket on the beds, as a way to honor their heroes.

#8: Outside of Marshal Zhu De’s old residence, we had a nice chat with this man, who resembles Mao Zedong. Very aware of it, we could see he was enjoying his minor celebrity with great glee.
