Mao Zedong was a great Chinese Marxist influential politician,thinker and militarist in the modern history of China. As the main founder of Communist Party, the Chinese people's Liberation Army and the People's Republic of China, Mao ZeDong's thought had a profound impact on China and Chinese people. Until today, both across the entire macro-political, economic, social and cultural areas and also in the ethical orientation of the masses, values, and everyday practices, even in the area of people's thinking, it all left deep prints of Mao Zedong's thought and his age characters. Therefore, correctly understanding and evaluation of Mao Zedong's thought, further elaboration of his thought and its unique content, not only has the important theoretical value, and is also of great historical and practical significanceMao Zedong's social ethics thought was an important part of Mao Zedong thought, and also crucial theoretical basis of constructing socialist modernization. Whether Mao Zedong thought appealed social ethics or in other words, it entailed social ethics or what kind of social ethics it has, not only concerned accurate understanding of the principle and methodological issue of Mao Zedong thought, but also related to the explanation and guidance of Mao Zedong thought and value orientation of socialist modernization, with Chinese characteristics and policy actions particularly in the context of today's appeal of social Justice.Mao Zedong's social ethical thought rooted in the area of appealing social and moral order and value of care, which were apparently in Mao Zedong thought. It embodied the thinking and understanding of the social problems of Mao's revolutionary age and construction time in modem China. Mao Zedong's ethical thought will actively explored and answered the development of modern China, and also his own ideology reflected in the pursuit of wonderful society.Mao Zedong in accordance with historical materialism developed Marxist study on social ethics and perfected social ethics of Marxism to a new height. Mao Zedong's pursuit of a harmonious, justice and democratic order in social ethics pushed forwards the complete liberation of the people, the free and comprehensive development of human beings as ultimate goals. It can be said that social ethics, one of the themes in various fields of Mao Zedong thought, was the pursuit of Communist society.Mao Zedong's social ethical thought had its unique system, in theory, it essentially was characterized by unique understanding of fairness,justice,democracy and freedom by reflecting his innovation and the development on Marxist views on social ethics. His ethical thought had demonstrated on as follows:in the area of social justice, he formed justice views based on equality; in democratic area, he set up people's democratic theory with the help of democratic concept claimed by Western enlightenment thinkers and democratic Marxists; in freedom area, he pursued the ideological and political freedom by revealing the essence of it and set up his goal towards establishing Communist society, with the aim of implementing the complete liberation and freedom of the people. In Mao's mind, only a Communist society was the most humane one, which was the ultimate resolution for the issues like fairness, justice,democracy and freedom.Mao Zedong's social ethics thought, formed after his whole life's pursuit of equity,justice,democracy and freedom, provided valuable experience and lessons to the construction of our modern social ethic order. In particular, its emphasis on the transformation of national character, on the cultivation of civic consciousness and culture, on the reconstruction of a new order guided by the interests of the peoples, are all important aspects which couldn't be ignored during the current construction of socialist modernization.In the21st century today, we should value Mao Zedong social ethics thought by the fact rather than misinterpretation.
