【红色书籍】China Rise Mao, charisma Mao（上）

When I was waiting in the air port, dangling around a small bookstall, there were something really catch my eyes.

There are various versions of "毛泽东选集(Selections of Mao Zedong)" along with Jesus Bible, comic book "西游记(pilgrimage to the west)" and "红楼梦(A Dream of Red Mansions)", they must all sort under the category of  fiction.

A close look of "毛泽东选集" and Bible. We will see which one may last longer.

 Long Live Mao VS God Bless Bible 

中国共产党第十次全国代表大会文件汇编, PRC 10th National Congress Minutes Summary.

毛主席语录, Selections of Mao Zedong

And it worth 280 CNY, about 41.7760 USD.

At the price of 280 CNY and along side with Bible, we know this is not for Chinese passengers. 

And at the time it was published, it cost only 0.54 CNY, that's 0.0806 USD

What 50 years ago holden tightly in every Chinese people's hand, is now worth 280 CNY.

First edition in 1952, 5th print at 1966.

Just from the title, we can already see how crazy that is, this is like fuck the thousands of years culture and the people in the past, right now and in the future.
