GENEALOGY books of nine famous Communist revolutionaries, including Mao Zedong and Liu Shaoqi, are on display at an exhibition at Shanghai Library.
The revolutionaries include three of the 13 representatives of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China — Mao Zedong, He Shuheng and Chen Tanqiu — as well as six proletarian revolutionaries — Liu Shaoqi, Xu Xiangqian, Yun Daiying, Yang Kaihui, Peng Dehuai and Hu Yaobang.
These rare books contains records of family relationships, life stories of family members, as well as family rules and some local historical details.
The displayed genealogy of Chairman Mao includes 22 books and was compiled in 1941 by the chairman’s teacher and cousin, Mao Zeqi.
