Mao has good and bad side characters. VOA always shows the bad characters of Mao's. Some quotes of their saying here may not true because their personal hatred to Mao. If the landlord and the capitalist did not oppress the farmer and labors, then there would have no success of CCP revolution. Mao only had one third army compared to KMT's army, but Mao defeated KMT and drove KMT out of mainland. Could any evil person do that in the history?
