Mao Zedong had several professions in different periods of his life, from educator to politician to businessman, all while attempting to find which political ideology fit him, which ended up being Marxism, leading him to be a strong Communist leader. Mao Zedong was the revolutionary leader of his People’s Republic of China for 27 years, dragging his country through controversial positions in his failed revolutions (5).
By following through with Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution, many people criticized his ideas and were not in support of his actions. As a result, tens of thousands of people were punished and killed due to their contradictory beliefs (6).
Mao Zedong was born in 1893, and as a child, he showed traits in his activities, like swimming, that showed his commitment towards aspects in his life.

The little amount of regard toward human life in that country while Communism and the Cultural Revolution were taking place is pathetic. This proves the Cultural Revolution was a failure because of the methods used to shape the lives of the Chinese people, because he abused them to promote change out of them and prevent others from believing the same way, making living conditions poor for all, sometimes without them realizing it. Anyone deserves better than the life that was given to most by Mao Zedong and the Cultural
