The Road of Exploring 2011 / 湘江北去 2011 / Xiang Jiang Bei Qu

Under Professor Yang’s influence, young Mao Zedong was inspired to have a heart caring for the masses in society and to keep struggling for his dream of saving them. His dream led him to Beijing, and as a librarian at Peking University Library, he had the luck to meet with Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu and Hu Shih, initiators of the New Culture Movement. Mao’s experience at PKU Library was the most important point during his life as it brought him into a new world of Marxism. Giving up the chance to study in France, he stayed at home to explore a solution for freeing Chinese people. Back to his hometown in Changsha, Hunan Province, he started the publication of Shian Kian Weekly Review as a support for the student movement in Beijing. Finally, he chose to follow the way of the October Revolution in Russia. (Source: english.pku.edu.cn) ~~ This movie was presented to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Communist Party of China
