A series of activities will be organized to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the birth of late Chinese leader Mao Zedong in his birthplace -- Shaoshan, in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, according to local officials. Activities will include a grand commemoration convention, a performance show, nationwide calligraphy and article competitions with the theme "Mao lives on in people's hearts". The improvement of the local tourist environment, especially the maintenance of Mao's former residence, will be emphasized as a key part of the commemoration. A website named "China-shaoshan.com" has been opened to the public. Focusing on the commemoration of Mao, the website also introduces his hometown of Shaoshan with a view to attracting business. Chairman Mao Zedong, born on Dec. 26, 1893, was the founder and leader of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the People's Republic of China. On Oct. 1, 1949, Mao proclaimed solemnly to the world the founding of the People's Republic of China. Apart from being a statesman, Mao is also widely admired as a poet and a calligrapher. |
