This book presents a panoramic history of the Chinese nation spanning the twentieth century, with the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its central theme. In their unwavering pursuit of national independence, universal emancipation, and a country of power and shared prosperity, the Chinese people undertook an arduous journey that saw China fundamentally transformed by such historic events and experiences as the overthrow of the imperial system in the 1911 Revolution, the founding of the People¿s Republic of China, reform and opening up, and the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Massive in scope, meticulously documented, and rigorously written, this volume has few rivals among general histories of China in the twentieth century.

Volume 1 of the official Chinese Communist Party biography of Mao Zedong. This volume covers Mao's career in the pre-revolutionary period, 1893-1949. This is a unique source through which to view the ways in which the transformative events of the twentieth century have been understood and portrayed in contemporary China.
