To criticize one communist leader does mean to negate the whole communist party. And even criticize the communist party doesn't mean to wash off that party's achievements on China.

Who overthrew the thousand year old Chinese culture?
Chinese culture has been several thousand year old that accumulated the wisdoms and experiences of many saints and sages. This ancient culture passed down from history continuedly without interuption until one man who pocessed all the power and ruined them in a very short time.

This man is Mao Tze-dong.

The Chinese culture has one important pillar that was virtually built on ethics, including ethic of family, ethic of society, ethic of government, and the most important of all, the ethic between men and women.

When this ethic expands in meaning, it can be catagorized into Tian, Di, Jun, Qin and Shi (interpreted as: The God, The Earth, The King, The parenthood, and The Teacher). These are the guidances of all the Chinese society. In other words, when these ethical principle prevails, the society will be peaceful and advanced accordingly.

That is what we called: "When the great Dao prevails, the society will be justisfiable...
We will respect the elderly as our family elderly, to treat the young as our own young...
And men will have their responsibilities, and women have their destinations...

As mentioned above, all these guidances are with one base. That is the base of SEX between men and women. When this guidance is violated, all the others will be collapsed.

Now, let's go back to review Mao. What kind of man Mao is?

Mao is a man full of sex puberty in life. He has married six wives one after the others. In addition to some out of marriage sex with women, Mao has a record of sex with more than a dozen women!

In order to facilitate his sex desire, Mao invented one vicious slogan on the sex relation between man and woman (or on marriage): The principle of "A Glass of Water". In other words, he regarded the sex relationship between man and woman is just like to drink a glass of water. When a man or a woman is thirsty (needs sex), he or she can get it as easily as to drink a glass of water.

This A-Glass-of-Water Principle greatly weaken the foundation of marriage. When the sex-appeal between man and woman is gone, a marriage is gone together!

This explains why marriages or sex between man and woman in today's China is so slovenly and messy.

As sex is the foundation of Chinese culture when this principle is ruined, all the other ethical principles follow sue of ruins.

So Mao is the man who ruined the thousand year old Chinese culture.

I have tried and never found one else who was such devastating as Mao did on Chinese culture. And I do believe Chinese history will re-e-v-a-l-u-ate Mao's personal character on what he did to the great land of China.
