so on my 23rd bday, i went to Hunan, to the holy land of Shao Shan, to satisfy some hedonistic needs. where one man's greatness eclipses everything. i dont normally celebrate my birthday (its a social construct with the purpose of boosting the economy) but what greater celebration than to have it with Mao. and before u start criticism on communism and Mao, please open your eyes and find out what he did in the first place before u even speak a word. true that he may have been a little unethical in some aspects, but certainly china had progress under him. (its very debatable though.) and communism is utopia for social workers if u wanted to know (cos there will be no more FA cases!).
enjoy his epicness.
first stop at li shao qi. some other founding member of the ccp with mao. he was sth like his right hand man i think.
first mao stop. hero worshipping begins.
the horror when he died (look at their faces.)
with Mao's house where he grew up. If you noticed, the camera focuses on Mao's house. What a display of drawing power. Bow to his epicness. lol.
with a bronze statue of Mao. the main statue of worship. lol. plenty of flowers at his feet. there's a great story to tell about this statue, on the day it was erected. mayeb i'll write about it soon. somewhere.
epic photo atop the mountains and with wind blowing
epic statue seating on his throne above the mountains
many vehicles with Mao figurine, some safety charm
found another Mao in Hunan Uni where he studied
缓缓飘落的枫叶像思念,我点燃烛光温暖岁末的秋天
aha. ok finally some non mao stuff. hmm. no wonder singapore doesnt produce emo songs. cos we got no autumn leaves to write about.
i've got Mao Fever.
