Mao Zedong, the unbridled philanderer
News Mao Zedong, the unbridled philanderer
March 5, 2022
This is the second of a two-part article on ‘what Maoists, Naxalites and Communists need to know about Mao Zedong’.
Dr Li Zhisui, Mao’s personal physician, has written “The Private Life of Chairman Mao,” a 663-page memoir of the imperial court of Mao that, in absolute contrast with the official image, portrays it as a place of boundless decadence, licentiousness, selfishness, relentless toadying and cut-throat political intrigue.
Mao indulged his every sexual caprice. The Communist Party and army procured young illiterate village girls for him every day. Mao desired to have a virgin girl every night. These girls staffed his villas and served as dancing companions at the leader’s exclusive parties when such dancing was banned for ordinary Chinese.
According to Li, Mao used to host weekly dances in the palace where he lived even though ballroom dancing had been banned after the revolution as decadent and bourgeois. “I walked into the huge Spring Lotus Chamber with Mao,” Li wrote, describing one of the dances. “He was immediately surrounded by a dozen attractive young women, who flirted with him and begged him to dance. A band was playing fox trots, waltzes and tangos and Mao danced with each of the young girls in turn. His dancing style was a slow, ponderous walk. After each dance, his partner would sit with him and chat, only to be replaced by a new one a few minutes later.”
