The Death of Mao, Episode 1
Description
Unlike Stalin or Hitler, many Chinese today revere the memory of Chairman Mao, The Great Helmsman. But as The Death of Mao shows, the emergence of China as a modern superpower and economic leviathan began after Mao’s death, the bitter power struggle that ensued, and the ascent of Deng Xiaoping. Though sidelined in the last years of Mao’s life, Deng took the helm of China and dragged this vast nation into the 21st century. The documentary reveals how Deng triumphed in the aftermath of Mao’s death and how his reforms transformed the lives of every Chinese citizen.
