A Study On The People View Of Mao Zedong

Around the May 4th Movement, the social history view of young Mao Zedong had great changes, which reflected in the changes from “Only a great man can manage the country” to “The strength of the people is the most powerful” and to“Historical materialism is the philosophy of our party”. In essence, it is a process in which Mao shift from an idealist to a materialist and he eventually became a staunch Marxist.Mao inherited and developed the people view of Marxist, and pointed the great judgment "People, and only people, is the real power who create the world history." This view forms the core of Mao Zedong History of the masses. Throughout the people history view of Mao Zedong, "the people" is the core category; “Serve the people heart and soul” is the core value; these three "core" constitutes the essence of the people history view of Mao Zedong.The essence of Marx’s philosophy is practice. Mao applied the universal truth of Marxism materialism to the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution and construction, and formed the people line methods, which is the typical example of the Sinicization of Marx Philosophy. In particular, from the Marxist materialism to the people line of Mao Zedong, both of them reflect the high unity of world outlook,values and methodology of Marxist philosophy. Overall, this process of Sinicization of Marx Philosophy was achieved by Mao Zedong guiding the Chinese revolution and construction by using the standpoint of Marx’s philosophy, dealing with the relationship between Marx’s doctrine and Chinese traditional culture, transferring the practical experience of Marx’s philosophy to the course, policy and policy of governing the country by the party, etc.People line is the specific methodology in practical activities of the people view of Mao Zedong. It is one of the three aspects of the living soul of Mao Zedong Thought. The people view and the people line thought of Mao Zedong play important roles in the expanded in-depth reform of new period, in completing the process of building a moderately well-off society in all aspects, in speeding up the development of socialist construction and in achieving the great Chinese dream that the Chinese nation rejuvenates.
