In the minds of many people, Mao was thought to be engaged in a great cult of the individual, creating personal superstition. Many in the media followed suit, and this gradually became the "truth", as if Mao had created it to safeguard his own image and guarantee his power. And today, these three historical documents prove once and for all how Mao was against the cult of the individual.

 

(Above: The picture reads: Comrade Tao Zhu read and return to Comrade Zhang Pinghua.)

This document has been read and is available. On the fifth page, replace the words "the highest instructions" with "guiding directions". In the future, please be careful not to use the language of "the highest and most vivid ......", "the peak", "the highest instructions". 

 In 25 July 1966, Chairman Mao gave his approval to a press release sent for review by the Central Propaganda Department. By this time, the "Great Revolution" was spreading rapidly throughout the country, and the personal worship of Chairman Mao began to be highlighted on many occasions and in many documents. Thus, faced with such a press release, Chairman Mao changed the words "supreme instructions" in the text to "guiding directions" in his own handwriting, and took the opportunity to comment on the previous appearance of "supreme and most vivid... ...", "the peak", "highest instruction" and other terms specifically pointed out that they should be prohibited, which can be said to be meaningful.

 Chairman Mao, who was an erudite and knowledgeable man, had a profound understanding and appreciation of the rise and fall of dynasties and regime changes in history. As early as the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee held in 1949, Chairman Mao pointed out specifically that the seizure of national victory was only the first step in a long march of ten thousand miles. China's revolution was great, but the journey after the revolution was much longer and the work was even greater and more arduous. He warned the comrades to prevent the cult of the individual, to be modest, cautious, not arrogant, not impatient, to continue to maintain the style of hard work, and proposed to prohibit the celebration of the birthday of the Party leaders and the use of the names of leaders as place names.

Above: "Cast bronze statues are a bad influence and therefore should not be cast. This is OK. There is only irony."

 What happened was this: on May 11, 1950, the eve of Chairman Mao Zedong's planning to convene the Third Plenary Session of the Seventh Party Central Committee, Secretary Tian Jiaying entered the Juxiang Study Hall with an official document in both hands and put it on the writing desk, saying that the Shenyang Municipal Government had reported a document.

 The text reads: "In order to commemorate the great significance of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Congress of people's representatives from all walks of life resolved to build a founding memorial tower in the central area of the city, on which there would be cast a bronze statue of Chairman Mao. As we have no full-length photo of the Chairman to serve as a model, we have sent you a special letter to ask your bureau to take four eight-inch full-length pictures of the Chairman standing, in front and behind and from the left and the right so as to facilitate its early construction. "

 Chairman Mao was stunned to hear this, put down the pen in his hand, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Oh, what is the big event in Shenyang city government, why must it be reported to me?"

Tian Jiaying hastily replied, "It's like this, a meeting of people's representatives from all walks of life in Shenyang has decided: to commemorate the founding of the People's Republic of China, a memorial tower will be built in the city centre."

Chairman Mao took one look at Tian Jiaying and said, "They can decide on such matters themselves! It’s no big deal. They can report it to Comrade Gao Gang, Secretary of the Northeast Bureau, and it will be settled." 

 Tian Jiaying said, " Chairman, you don't know yet, but they are going to cast a bronze statue of you, the Chairman, on this memorial tower."

"What?" Chairman Mao was shocked to hear this, "They're going to cast a bronze statue of me on the memorial tower?"

"Yes! They proposed on the report: ask the photographer to take four eight-inch standing portraits of the Chairman on his behalf and send them." Tian Jiaying replied.

Chairman Mao said, somewhat angrily, "Not even one!"

With that, Chairman Mao opened the official report, and while reading it, he made the following comments with his brush.

Next to "Building the Founding Memorial Pagoda", he wrote: "This is possible"; next to "Casting the statue of Chairman Mao", he wrote: "It is only ironic "; at the top of the report, he wrote with a broad stroke of his pen: "Casting bronze statues has a bad influence, so they should not be cast."

After reading and approving the report from Shenyang, Chairman Mao pushed the report and said solemnly, "Return the original!"

"Yes!" Tian Jiaying took up the report with both hands.

Chairman Mao then said, "Tell the relevant departments that this is a violation of the spirit of the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee, and that in future, anyone who does such things again should be reported and criticised!"

On 20 September 1950, when Chairman Mao heard that Hunan Province was going to build a road and houses in Shaoshan, he wrote a telegram in his own handwriting to Deng Zihui, then Secretary of the Central and South Bureau, Huang Kecheng, Secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, and Wang Shoudao, Chairman of the Provincial Government, in which he wrote: "It is said that the Changsha District Party Committee and the Xiangtan County Party Committee are now building a house for me in my hometown and a road to my hometown. If this is true, please ask them to stop immediately and not to build anything, so as not to cause bad influence among the people. This is the most important thing.

The words "stop immediately", "not at all" and "this is the most important thing" show how much importance Chairman Mao attached to such matters and how strict he was with himself.

 

This is Chairman Mao! This is how Chairman Mao "gives up" the cult of personality! Those who are jealous of Chairman Mao's authority also want to engage in a personality cult, but the people will ignore him!

The people will only love their own leader, the leader of the people. Although the old man rejected the cult of his personality, people still admired him sincerely! This is the worship of the people! And now more and more people worship Chairman Mao!

Why does Chairman Mao fever endure and be renewed, and why do more and more people miss and worship Chairman Mao and hope that all the fine traditions of the Mao era will return? It is Chairman Mao who has set the example for the Communist Party, it is Chairman Mao who has set the example for humanity! Learn from Chairman Mao, and society will be at peace and in harmony! As Qian Xuesen (1) said: Deny Chairman Mao and public ownership and China will be finished!

There are still people who smear and deny Chairman Mao, both explicitly and implicitly, and these people are bound to take the stand of traitors to the country and will certainly go to the opposite side of the people!
