The God of War's Attendant

The ancient general most admired by Chairman Mao: Chen Qingzhi.

While burdened with the affairs of state after liberation, Chairman Mao read the official biography of Chen Qingzhi again and again. He circled and marked many passages, underlined them heavily, and wrote an affectionate note: “Reading this biography again fills me with longing” (Mao Zedong Reads History, by Zhang Yijiu).

The military marquis whose campaigns read like a legend, the divine general who served as an imperial attendant: Chen Qingzhi!
