Mao was born on December 26 in 1893, in a peasent family in Shao-shan in the Hunan province. As a child he worked in the fields and attended a local primary school. He was frequetly in conflict with his strict father.

Beginning in 1911, the year that the republican forces of Sun Yat-Sen launched the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty, Mao spent allmost ten years in Chang-sha, the province capital. He was exposed to the tides of rapid political change and the new cultural movement that was sweeping the country.

At the national level, the Government Administrative Council headed by Zhou Enlai performed both the legislative and executive functions of government.

The new regime, called the People's Republic of China, was officially proclaimed on October 1, 1949.
