[edit] Description
Shaoshan Former Residence of Mao Zedong，located in Shaoshan City, Hunan Province, is 104 kilometers away form Changsha City.
Entered by a courtyard, the house is of a sunny yellow, mud brick walls, with a nicely thatched roof, and is found on a wooded hillside, above some lush paddy fields. There are 13 and one half rooms in the former residence, which include one and half central room, a kitchen, a dining room, three family bedrooms and a guest room. Within the rooms are various personal effects of Mao and his parents, as well as photos from Mao’s life. The central room was used by two families: Mao’s family and their neighbor. So we could say only one half of the central room belongs to Mao’s family. There is the kitchen, where Chairman Mao often helped his mother do housework in his childhood. Leading from the kitchen was Chairman Mao’s parent’s bedroom. There are two photos of Chairman Mao’s parents on the inner wall, and it was in this room where Chairman Mao was born.
