BEIJING, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) — China Post will issue a commemorative stamp set on Tuesday to mark the 130th anniversary of the birth of Mao Zedong.

A total of 7.8 million of these stamp sets, with a denomination of 4.8 yuan (about 68 U.S. cents) for each set, can be purchased at designated postal outlets and online shops over the next six months.

Each set contains four stamps, featuring the themes of persistence in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, construction of the Ming Tombs Reservoir, the holding of a global vision, and returning to the Jinggangshan Mountains.

Mao was born on Dec. 26, 1893 and died on Sept. 9th, 1976.

How the Imperial War Museum Relegated the “Black Experience” of WWII to a Back Corridor! (26.10.2023)

27/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

When we entered a back corridor – slightly disheartened by the shallowness of the IWM coverage of WWII from an ordinary British and Chinese perspective – we were astonished to find that a ‘Black’ British art exhibition – regarding WWII – had been consigned to an ‘out of the way’ place! The corridor is both bare and bleak – the sort of place one (momentarily) traverses through to get to another place – or perhaps rest for a moment to get one’s bearings. In no civilised way should this location be interpreted as ‘suitable’ for an art exhibition – as it reeks with Eurocentric disdain! Such is the contemporary IWM and the disjointed face it shows to a general public it intends to fleece in its gift shops!

Live on Forever as a Proletariat! (25.10.2023)

Meanwhile, China seems to be following a path of commercialisation which seeks to develop the closest of ties with the US – a country whose people and political system remains the furthest away in relevance from everyday Chinese needs. Maoism or ‘More-ism’? Who can tell – as the Chinese ideologues appear to be relying upon ‘contradiction’ as a means to deflect all criticism of the post-1979 path its leaders have chosen to follow. Perhaps this is as superficial as the American-English the Chinese State choses to use when writing English language articles – a policy that is nothing but an insult to British English. This would be like British people using the Korean written script whilst claiming to be writing ‘Chinese’ language texts. Perhaps this scathing criticism will generate some type of positive change.

Flora Botton (Mexico): Why Ancient & Modern China Should Be Understood as a Completed Whole! (2.10.2023)

02/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Flora Botton: Mexico and China have established diplomatic relations for more than 50 years. I am happy to say that Mexico and China have a lot of communication in all aspects, whether it is economic relations, political relations, or academic relations. Exchange students, scholarship establishment, visiting scholars, travel, language learning… all kinds of communications.

In ancient times, “sinologists” were scholars who spread Chinese culture by learning and translating Chinese. They specialized in the study of traditional Chinese culture. And now the term is widely used for any scholar who studies China, even contemporary China.

China: Body of Korean War Veteran – Li Zhonghua (李中华) – [Missing Since 1958] Found in 2016! (24.9.2023)

The Police deduce that Li Zhonghua (and his fellow soldiers) set-off from Luoyang – with Li Zhonghua struggling to keep-up due to the after-effects of his leg wound (which slowed him down). As the country was in need, however, Li Zhonghua ‘Volunteered’ yet again and was given ‘Special Tasks’. Before setting-off from Luoyang that day – Li Zhonghua bought a copy of a local Newspaper – a datable object found on his body in 2016. Due to the harsh environment (and Li Zhonghua’s injured leg) – he soon fall behind as the troops advanced. In such an environment, a person alone, without food, clothing and water would not be able to retrace their steps or go onwards with any certainty. Li Zhonghua marched on until his strength gave-out – and a grateful country rediscovered his remains!

Mao Zedong – The Great Helmsman – Seeing the Wood for the Trees! (13.8.2023)

The authors do this because they claim that ‘a certain number of Jews’ were amongst the dead. However, the same Jewish authors completely omit the January 1944 International Red Cross Investigation of the mass graves in the Katyn Forest – fully supported by the US, UK and USSR. This investigation clearly concluded that there were 10,000 bodies and not 26,000 – and that there were no obvious signs that any victims were ‘Jewish’. Indeed, the ammunition and execution methods used (a bullet to the back of the neck of each victim kneeling on the edge of the mass grave) all indicated that the Nazi Germans had carried out this atrocity – just one amongst many thousands like it. Such was the conclusion of the 1944 International Red Cross Investigation!
