50 years after his death, Mao still shapes China

Comments

1. Vasquezkai: that clutch was insane
2. Lucas: hard to see how his legacy can be untangled from the Cultural Revolution
3. Grim Signal: not the most subtle memorial they could have chosen
4. Diazrayan: this is such a sanitized image to represent his, well, everything
5. Lucas: you'd think by now we'd have some nuance about the guy's history, not just this sanitized stuff that glosses over everything
6. Echo Raven: it's wild how china still can't just let it go, you know? like even 50 years on, his presence is still palpable
7. Velvet Rune: i've always wondered how china could just sort of... rewrite its history like that, replacing mao's legacy with this mythologized version. is it still happening?
8. Wraith Ronin: there's some weird subtext going on here about mao's still-being-felt even in stuff that wasn't even his idea, though
9. Miawex: i'm surprised they'd use on-screen text like that in an archival photo. feels...unreliable?
