Mao died the previous September and subsequent Chinese rulers began diminishing Maoist ideology. 518 pp. Adapted from Wikipedia: Five volume collection of the written works of Mao Zedong ranging from the years 1926–1957. The collection was first published by the People's Publishing House in 1951, and was later translated into English by the state-owned Foreign Languages Press. The fifth volume, which included the works of Chairman Mao from 1949 to 1957, was released during the leadership of Hua Guofeng, but subsequently withdrawn from circulation for its perceived ideological errors. There has never been an official "Complete Works of Mao Zedong" collecting all his known publications. A number of unauthorized volumes have been released, such as Volumes 6-9 published in India by the Communist Party of India. During the ten years of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), the People's Publishing House published 870 different editions (Volumes 1–4), with a total of 325 million paperbacks and 2.55 million hardcover copies of the Chinese editions created. They were also translated into a 14 different foreign languages.
