Editor's note: Dec 26 of this year marks the 123rd birthday of Mao Zedong (1893-1976), one of the founders of the Communist Party of China and the core figure of New China's first generation leadership.
Mao has had a profound impact on Chinese people throughout the past decades. Chinese make and collect portraits, statues and badges of Mao, as well as keeping his words in their memories.
