Hello, everyone! Welcome to the former resident of Mao ZeDong”. Now, we are facing a simple and unsophticated farmhouse .we call it Shangchangwu. And our great chairman Mao Zedong was born in th place on December 26th, 1893. Although it a quite common farmhouse with U-shape construction in South China, it possesses beautiful views with limpid water and green mountains. Once, here lived two families, Mao’s family and their next door neighbor. And the thirteen and a half rooms on the left hand belong to Mao’s family.
Look up! There hangs a red tablet inscribed with golden characters “The former resident of Mao Zedong”. The inscription was written by Chairman Deng Xiaoping on April 2nd, 1983. Now, let’s enter into the central room. It’s a place for Mao’s family and their neighbors enjoying together to entertain guests. The old fashioned table and chairs here are settled as they were many years ago. Please look at th! It called Shenkan, which a family area of worship of God and ancestors. When chairman Mao as a child, he often helped h parents doing some housework in th place. And the big buckets here are the original items in those years.
Here we come to the kitchen. Please look at that cooking range. It made from mud bricks according to the memory of the old people when recovering the exhibition. There a big Brazier put in the middle of the room. The southern peasant families usually have a room to keep warm by firing wood in winter. And there an iron hook hung above it. It called “Lutanggou” and it was used to boll water and rice. It really a lively atmosphere when the whole family gets together and sits around the brazier to warm themselves and chat together. In the spring of 1921. It’s around th brazier that Mao Zedong persuaded h relatives to join the revolution. After hearing h brother Mao Zenmin’s suffering in that troubled times, Mao Zedong said that: “yes, it not happen on only us, but all of us in the whole country! We can’t live without fighting against the evil. So we should do some benefit things for our society in spite of the safety of ourselves.” Afterwards, by the guiding of Mao Zedong, all h families devoted themselves to the revolutionary career. And there are 6 families sacrificed in the war.
Now we come into the bedroom of Mao’s parents and Mao was born just in th room on December 26th, 1893. There are portraits of Mao’s parents on the wall. H father—Mao Shunsheng was born in October, 1870 and was a very simple and diligent farmer. But unfortunately he died from acute febrile in h fifty in 1920.we should say that it the father’s industry and good housekeeping management that supported Mao Zedong out learning in h early years. Th lady was Mao’s mother—Wenshi. She was born in1867 and was not only diligent but also intelligent. Th farm woman was so warm-hearted that she was always helping other neighbors. The good moral character of the parents gave a deep impression upon the great man. When Mao Zedong watched the portrait of h mother in 1959, he signed: “I’m really looks like my mother.” And yes, th old wooden bed in front of us also an original one. .
Th Mao’s bedroom. The portrait on the wall was the group photo of Mao’s mother, Mao’s two brothers and himself in spring 1919 in Changsha. That year, Mao worked in Changsha and h little brother also studied in the city. Because h elder brother sent their badly sick mother to see a doctor in the provincial capital, the families had the chance to leave the memory. Also in th year’s October, h mother died. And the cherh photo was carefully collected by Mao’s mother’s family. The bedroom also the study of Mao Zedong. Look, th the oil lamp accompanied by Mao reading in h childhood. In summer nights, there were many mosquitoes. So he put up a mosquito net and only left h head outside to read. And in winter, he often stayed up to read books with th oil lamp. Even when he dropped out of school in h 13 to 15, he still read as many books as he could get Your attention, please! Otherwe you’ll ms an attic in th room. And it in th room that the ShaoShan Branch of the Chinese Communt Party was set up. Ok, follow me please. Here the site where MaoZedong placed h farm tools. He began h work at the age of six. From the age 13 to 15, because of lack of physical labor, he dropped out of school to work on the farm. Therefore, he was a professional farmer for two years. The water wheels and graphite here are stuff used by MaoZedong. Ok, so much for today. Hopefully, you shall have pleasant and unforgettable memories of the resident.
