China's Communist Leader, Mao Zedong Dies

The Cultural Revolution happened during 1967-1977. This whole event happened because of China’s communist leader, Mao Zedong. Not that long ago, the communist leader had died from a disease called Lou Gerhip. Since then, many Chinese people wonder how their lives will change. Some people think that since the Chairman is dead, a bright future for China is far close; think again. Throughout the years China has been a successful country even before Chairman Mao was a leader. So if it was successful back then Chairman Mao’s death will bring China back to its imperial glory.

For ten years China was following the order of Chairman Mao. With the Cultural Revolution people were in constant fear that the Red Guards would take away loved ones from home because of their background or for disagreeing with the communist party. “I lost my husband. He was send to a concentration camp. He was send there for thinking that the way China was before was better than it is now. It was two years ago and I don’t know anything about him since he left.” said a housewife named An Guo. The people of China are living in a country that is not free and the people of China should have that right to live their lives relax and peaceful. On the contrary to what has happened over the past ten years. Where people lived in constant fear.

What China needs is a government that protects the people. With what was happening for ten years was nothing was getting to somewhere except violence. What was the point for Mao having the Red Guards if what they only did was to bring fear to the people. Instead of having the Red Guard doing the jobs that they are doing they can just help people; they can be like police officers help people instead of giving people fear every day.

There forth it was a good thing that Chairman Mao Zedong died. If China wanted to move future it could it without the help of Mao Zedong. How did China improve though out the years before? They didn’t need the help of Mao. If all he did was bring war to China.
