		A few scattered red banners in the city of Xiangtan, under which Shaoshan is a village township, were the sole advertisement for the ongoing party congress.
		For the man in the street in either Xiangtan or rustic Shaoshan, the most significant symbol of the party congress was the final retirement of their townsman Hua Guofeng, Mao's designated successor who reigned between 1976 and 1978.
		As for village folk living around the former home of Mao in Shaoshan, their greatest fear was that Mao's importance would be minimized as Jiang resolutely diluted the revolutionary character of the party.

		And Shaoshan, visited by millions over the years, is the Lourdes of his cult.
		Humans have been worshipped as gods for thousands of years in China, and the point of Mao, in the eyes of the believers, is no longer whether he was good or bad; such categories do not apply to godmen.
		Shaoshan, the birthplace of the greatest wrecker of Chinese tradition, has become, in many ways, a repository of it.

	The Cult Of The Leader: Mao's Hometown ~ by Ben Hill
		There isn't a cloud in the sky - this has to be the cleanest air I've breathed so far in China - and apart from the halo of floodlights around the new statue of the great man himself, there's nothing to interfere with the view of the stars.
		Shaoshan is the tourist attraction that time forgot.
		I tell her about Shaoshan, and say I was fascinated by it because I don't think anyone goes there any more.

	On Your Own In China
		The ate Chairman Mao was born here in the village of Shaoshan 50 miles (80 kilometres) to the southwest of Changsha, the provincial capital, and the former president of China, Liu Shaochi, whom Mao had purged in 1967, was also born nearby.
		Shaoshan is a tiny village 50 miles (80 kilometres) south of Changsha, which is famed as the birthplace of the late Chairman Mao Tse-tung.
		The man credited with making Shaoshan such a revered, almost holy spot, is Hua Guofeng, who succeeded Mao as Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party in 1976, only to be toppled from the post by Deng Xiaoping in 1981 after a long political battle.

		He was born into a peasant family in a valley called Shaoshan, in the province of Hunan, in the heartland of China.
		It was arranged by their parents and was based on a practical consideration: the tomb of one of her grandfathers was in Shaoshan, and it had to be tended regularly with elaborate rituals, so having a relative there would prove useful.
		In 1959, when he returned to Shaoshan and met the villagers for the first-and only-time as supreme leader of China, he began the dinner for them with a quip: "So everyone is here, except my Stone Mother.

	The Birthplace of a Leader
		But Shaoshan is worth a look if you're at all curious about a man who changed history, and what his kitchen looked like.
		In the gift shop, where a video about Shaoshan plays continuously, it is hard to decide among the Mao-morabilia: the Mao triptychs, the key chains, the busts, the statuettes.
		But, if you are in Hunan Province, say, to do business with the five and a half million people in its capital, Changsha, or to see the embroidery museum there, or the 2,000 year old mummified women, then a side trip to Mao's birthplace, just two hours away, is a very fine idea.

		Shaoshan, a mountain village about 100km southwest of Changsha, with some fairly beautiful scenery and a once typically Hunan village atmosphere, has been irreparably changed by history.
		On the 26th December 1893, a baby was born in a little house in this village, to a relatively wealthy peasant couple.
		Even nicer however, is the ascent to Shao Hill Peak (Shaoshan feng), the conical hill just to the northwest of the village.

		Their accent was the strangest I’ve yet heard in China, sounding more like Finnish than Chinese, yet I managed to answer their most urgent queries, providing them with the usual spiel.

		Mao Zedong's birthplace, the hamlet of SHAOSHAN, lies 90km to the southwest of Changsha, a fine day trip from the capital through the mild Hunanese countryside.
		Shaoshan is, in fact, two settlements: a knot of hotels and services that have sprung up around the rail head and long-distance bus depot, and Shaoshan Dong, the village itself, some 6km distant.
		Another option is to bus over to Dishui Dong, Dripping Water Cave, where Mao meditated for a few days in 1966 on the harsh works of writer Lu Xun, after a major disagreement had erupted between himself and Lin Biao over the course of the Cultural Revolution.

		Shaoshan is a small village found in a valley of the Hunan province, where, a little over a century ago, Mao Zedong was born.
		The first thing heard in Shaoshan is the music, and the music is inescapable.
		Additionally, it cannot be until the Chinese are allowed to thoroughly examine the details of their history and once and for all bury Mao that they will finally receive the liberation that was promised them in 1949.

	Mao Zedong
		Only in the Hunan capital of Changsha might one have found a considerable clustering of self-styled reformers, and their eyes were turned more toward the far-off east coast cities than into the unchanging villages and farms that were spread all around them.
		He began to work on his parents' farm at the age of six, and after he was enrolled in the village primary school at the age of eight, he continued to do farm work in the early mornings and in the evenings.
		Mao's mother was born in an adjoining county, southwest of Shaoshan; although her birthplace was just the other side of a range of hills, in that highly localized rural society she grew up speaking a dialect that was quite distinct from her husband's.

		Mao Zedong was born Hunan Province in the rocky upland village of Shaoshan, Xiangtan Country, where 75 percent of the residents were surnamed Mao.
		Living now in Shanghai, he threw himself into the task of advancing the alliance between the Communist Party and the Nationalist Party (Guomindang) of Sun Yat-sen. Representatives of the Com-intern had ordered the Chinese Communists to make this alliance with the national bourgeoisie, but the coalition was fraught with conflict from the beginning.
		In the poor upland area around Shaoshan, several of Mao's acquaintances from Changsha were establishing night schools for peasants; Yang Kaihui began teaching in one of them.
