More than a month later, on the empty hillside outside Yan'an City, Wu Ming and Duoyan walked and said something.

These days, Wu Ming and Dorothy have traveled to many places in northern Shaanxi. Dorothy has several large books of interview notes, but Wu Ming has different observation points from her. He has repeatedly told Dorothy that if you want to surpass her predecessor Edgar Snow, you must have a new perspective and write something new, otherwise you will just be a pick-up.

During the days when he arrived in Yan'an, Wu Ming met many vivid historical celebrities. He accompanied Duoloxi to interview this and that every day, but he rarely expressed his opinions and rarely spoke. He just looked with his eyes and listened with his ears, and then thought desperately when he lay down at night, came to his own conclusion, and secretly recorded it.

Even Dorothy felt his abnormality. Every time he asked, Wu Ming shook his head gently, smiling without saying a word.

"According to my own feelings, Mao Zedong will be a very great person." Dorothy said, and looked at Wu Ming with inquiring eyes.

Wu Ming smiled slightly and said, "You are quite good at it. Mr. Mao will definitely be a great man in the future."

Anyone who knows a little about history will agree with this view. But where did Mao Zedong's prestige come from? First of all, it was obtained from the army and the people. People who have seen Mao Zedong rarely recognize his greatness. After visiting Yan'an, the famous patriotic Chinese capitalist Chen Jiageng sighed, "I used to think that China's savior has not been born yet... In fact, this person is already forty or fifty years old... This person is now Chairman Mao." After the intellectuals in the Kuomintang-ruled regions went to Yan'an, they were all over Mao Zedong. Even most members of the American Observatory Team stationed in Yan'an were conquered by Mao Zedong's charm, which caused them to lose the trust of the US government and be persecuted by the US government after returning to China.

The worship of Maodi was naturally born from history. Moreover, establishing Chairman Mao's authority was also a need for the revolutionary struggle at that time. Otherwise, the party would not have a core and could not unite the party and the people. However, the leaders were not self-confidence, but naturally arose in the struggle. We know that it is not easy for the people to praise the people in power from the heart. They usually scolded the officials, just like us now.

Therefore, it is not so easy to gain the support and love of the people. In the early 1930s, when people gathered in the Central Soviet Area, the slogan "Defend the Soviet Union and defend Chairman Mao". After arriving in northern Shaanxi in 1935, they began to shout "Mao Master.: All over.

Due to extreme personality cults, it caused great losses to China later, and this lesson is worth remembering. However, it does not mean that Mao Zedong's prestige is the result of propaganda, nor does it mean that the people regard Mao Zedong as a god, but their love for the leader. People who lived at that time will have a deeper understanding that the worship of Mao Zedong has a long history and great merits as the basis and accumulation.

Wu Ming sighed softly. This is the choice of the times. This is the destiny of history, and this is also the choice of the Chinese. We can only think that the difference in ideology and thinking concepts determines that this is inevitable. In Britain, at the end of World War II, Churchill's power and prestige reached the peak. The British people were afraid that their democratic system would be threatened and a strong man above the law appeared. He immediately drove the hero off the stage without hesitation. However, Churchill did not have the sadness and sadness of the Chinese people as "the rabbit died and the dog was cooked, and the birds were kept in their bows." Instead, he said cheerfully: "Look, this is democracy, what we have been fighting for."

The differences between Western cultures and regions determine the necessity of history. It cannot be changed by a small butterfly flapping its wings.

"The Anti-Japanese University invited me to give a report, which made me very embarrassed." Dorothy continued: "I originally thought that this trip to Yan'an would have a breakthrough, but I didn't expect to follow the old path of Edgar. And you said it well and wanted to help me. But recently you seem to have eyes and ears."

"It's almost time, we should leave after you finish the report." Wu Ming didn't care about Dorothy's complaints. "As for the content of your report, I would like to give you some tips. When I return to the National Government District, I will fulfill my promise and tell you all my views and conclusions. I hope it will be helpful to you!"

"Okay, I'm finally willing to say what you think." Dorothy said with a smile.

"Haha, look at what you said, I will tell you what I think sooner or later, you are just too anxious." Wu Ming smiled.

Wu Mingluo sorted out his thoughts and pointed to a dead tree next to him. The two sat down. His eyes turned to the valley in the distance, and his voice became solemn. "The content of your report is centered on the 'the harm of the king inside and the sage outside' and 'the rule of law is not ruled by others'. This is good for GCD. If they can obey some, it will even be good for China."

"The king of the inner world?" Dorothy asked in confusion: "I don't quite understand what it means?"

"In your Western words, the coexistence of devils and angels is probably what it means." Wu Ming scratched his head and tried to explain it in more common words. "In Chinese history, there are too many such phenomena. They are cruel and harsh at the inside, but they have to pretend to be generous and magnanimous to the outside world, which is not good, very bad."

"It is a devil inside, a suppression; it is an angel outside, a tolerance." Dorothy thought hard, "Liu, do you have any objections to the GCD rectification movement?"

In 201942, Mao Zedong published two speeches "Reorganization of the Party's Style" and "Opposition Eight-Legends", marking the beginning of a general rectification movement throughout the Party. Kang Sheng, Minister of the Central Social Department and Minister of Intelligence, presided over the matter specifically, and signs of enlargement of anti-counterfeiting have emerged.
