Mao Zedong

Japanese Professor Homare ENDO, known as a leading authority on China studies, was born in Changchun, Jilin Province, China, in 1941 and experienced a food blockade by the Communist army during the Chinese Civil War in 1948. She lost her family to starvation and slept outdoors on the bodies of those who died of hunger. Since then, she has continued investigating what the Chinese Communist Party was and what Mao Zedong was thinking. She finally succeeded in uncovering the fact that Mao had conspired with the Japanese army during the Sino-Japanese War.

Mao, who brought about the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation in Yan'an, was in a situation to obtain the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek's operational plans, and sent spies to the Japanese army to sell the Kuomintang's operational plans to the Japanese army for a high price. Professor Endo obtained evidence from Japanese insider documents that Mao had even negotiated a ceasefire with the Japanese army.

Mao's goal was to weaken the Kuomintang army and defeat Chiang Kai-shek in the Chinese Civil War that would break out after

Japan's defeat.

The image of him as a hero of the Anti-Japanese War was merely the product of propaganda. It was Mao himself who was betraying the Chinese people.
