| Mao Tse-Tung was a pioneer who led the China people in the incessant efforts to build the Chinese socialism. He devoted his last twenties years' life to probing into a great undertaking of Chinese socialist construction. He made a great contribution to the socialist construction theory and the practical experience, then laid a solid foundation for the birth of the theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics.The paths none have explored before must be extremely tortuous. Mao Tse-Tung made several mistakes on the course of probing into the Chinese socialist construction, concentrating on the problem of the class struggle, the transition period and socialist system mode, which made the Chinese socialist construction suffer serious setbacks. So many things accounted for the occurrence of which the most important things were his own inappropriate sense of equality and the international communist movement's effect at that time. But the erroneous cognition of the Marxist small-scale production theory was a logical starting point of the fault in Mao Tse-Tung's later period.Searching after the historic cause aims at drawing a lesson. Only do we comprehend the Marxist scientific socialism integrally and scientifically, recognise correctly the historic times of contemporary capitalism and the historical role, and consummate the scientific inner-Party democratic system and policy-making system, We will draw a lesson from past errors so as to prevent Mao Tse-Tung's recurrence, in order to advance along the correct road initiated by Mao Tse-Tung. |
