Summary: Mao: first Marxist Sex-Emperor of China. Get the Truth
Comment: Dr. Li's book is the best possible first-hand account there is on the late evil dictator Mao Zedong (1893-1976). The Chinese look upon the years of 1949-1976 as the "death, famine and disaster years". Millions starved, millions tortured, Red Guards rampaging and killing innocents, and elevation of a illiterate Mao into a demi-god. The 20th century can now be seen as the century of three evil dictators: Mao, Hitler and Stalin. Buy the book, read it and judge the facts for yourself.
Whereas the USSR of Stalin and the Nazi Germany of Hitler is ceases to exist, the evil dictatorship of the communist of China that Mao put into power rules China. Germany and Russia now have elected presidents. China enters the 21st century with a despotic, evil, secretive and paranoid government put in place after a bloody civil war in 1949 by Mao.
Dr. Li was Mao's personal doctor from 1954-1976. Mao, died at age 83 and last two decades of his life, had constant health problems. Hence, Dr. Li was in constant companion and had numerous opportunities to talk to and view the daily life the Mao. In fact, there is absolutely no better person to write a detailed biography of Mao's life than his personal doctor. Written while in Chicago for his wife medical treatment, this book has been malign by the communist dictators of China.
Leaders like Lincoln, FDR, Churchill are elected and must rule under a system of laws. Mao was a guerilla-fighter, illiterate, and beholden to no laws, constitution, checks and balances, and legal constraints. Mao was the first dictator-emperor of post-1949 China and a Marxist dictator at that. Only a personal account by Mao's doctor could the sordid truth come forth. Dr. Li's book is all the more of historical importance. Some facts from Dr. Li's book.
1.Mao was addicted to sex with peasant's girls, the first Marxist-Leninist sex-emperor. Hundreds of women were served to him like food. While preaching the virtue of a simple peasant life, he created elaborate dancing parties and slept with scores of women in any given night. Contracted with venereal disease, he refused to be treated and infected all the peasant girls with diseases. With a voracious sex appetite, he even had the male security guards massage his private parts. Peasant girls, honored by the opportunity to sleep with Mao even introduced their sisters. The sex-emperor was not only preaching the virtues of peasants, he was fornicating with all their girls.
2.Mao refused to brush his teeth, bath or wash. Rinsing his teeth with only green tea, all his front upper teeth fell off and a green slime coated his teeth. He had peasant girls give him a sponge bath. For weeks, he would sleep in bed refusing to dress or put on shoes. He kept no regular schedule or work habits. A true illiterate peasant to the end.
3.Mao's court had a continuous air of danger, intrigue, gossip and backstabbing. His wife or second or third in command fell in out of favor. No one, even Dr. Li. Could feel a sense of personal safety. It was an atmosphere of intrigue where one could be eaten by the intrigues and back-stabbing.
4.Mao was fundamentally illiterate and uneducated. Mao had no formal education or modern ideas of economics, medicine, science or nation-building. His idea in the 1950's of producing steel was have everyone melt the pots, pans, and door and doorknobs to produce steel. His idea of living long was the slept with hundreds of peasants girls and "sap their energies".
5.Mao every political campaign, from the 1950's onto the 1960's Cultural Revolution was for one simple reason: he wanted to retain total power. Mao used ideology as a tool to purge dissent and those who did not agree with him or openly criticize him. Seeing the millions of death from famine in the 1950's from his harebrained economic policies, he concocted a campaign even more harebrained than the first one: the Cultural Revolution.
Seeing his failed policies has led to famine and colleagues sensed he was an illiterate oaf, he summoned the teenagers of China to be his Red Guards. Red Guards were brainwashed to utter his saying and rampage and sack the schools, hospitals and government agencies. Millions were tortured, killed, purge and maim because of the sole reason he wanted to retain absolute power. The fine saying that "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" aptly applies to Mao. Dr. Li book provides full details.
Dr. Li book provides a first-hand account Mao. To really understand his place and history, one has to understand Mao himself. Dr. Li does not sugarcoat the facts. The facts are basically that Mao was an illiterate, uneducated, egomaniac bent on retaining full power until his dying days.
The disasters of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution can be understood only if one understands Mao personally. Mao himself had no knowledge of science, economics or law. All his ideas were harebrained simply because he did not have any formal education. The concept of building a modern nation-state is simply beyond his comprehension. However, elaborate sex-emperor parties, back-stabbing, the herding of the people, Mao is an expert at. Dr. Li books has the full facts.
Academics, Intellectual and out of touch "pinheads" fantasize and romanticize about dictators. Dr. Li books sets the facts straight, writes as he sees and hears the facts. He himself was filled with optimism about Mao and China, but reality sets in. After millions starved to death, millions maimed and killed, Dr. Li had no remorse when the dictator died in 1976.
Millions continue to romanticize about this evil dictator. Please read Dr. Li book. Get the facts and truth on Mao. Hitler, Stalin and Mao, the three evil dictators of the 20th. Century that brought untold suffering and death. Dr. Li's book is of great historical value in documenting one of the three dictators. Please buy it, read it, and judge the facts for yourself.
Seek the truth on Mao and you will know how he brought death, famine, and suffering to millions. Dr. Li's book is a good starting point on the facts on Mao. Buy the book.

Summary: Ouy Vey (As Carl Marx would Say)
Comment: This book misses out on the real Mao Se Tung. The man with the big smile, the man who loved little doggies, the man with a song in his heart, and the fact that he was a great dancer.
I'll still give the book two stars because it is about my dear friend but otherwise I am very disappointed.
Rating: 5
Summary: Engrossing, fascinating study on the life of a dictator.
Comment: This book is a tremendously fascinating look at the life of one of the 20th century's most powerful dictators. There is no more comprehensive look into the mind of Mao than in this book by his own personal physician. I'm not sure if I approve of having a doctor spill the personal, often medical secrets of his patient, but the book is very engaging, never-the-less.
Even at so many hundred-odd pages, the book just flies by. Engrossing. I got a feel of what might have been going through Mao's head as he launched one disasterous campaign after another. Of what little regard he had for human life, and how many of his own comrades he was willing to sacrifice to retain power, for the sake of having power. Thoroughly revolting.
Dr. Li provides the reader with a portrait of the leader that only someone as close to him could have. I highly recommend this book.
