Mao Zedong Was A Librarian


Mao Zedong worked as a librarian during his early years before he became involved in politics. In 1918, Mao moved to Beijing and worked as an assistant librarian at the Peking University Library. During this time, he spent much time reading and studying Marxist theory, which would later influence his political ideology. Mao's time as a librarian allowed him access to a wide range of books and information, which helped shape his understanding of the world and his views on society. Although his time as a librarian was relatively short, it significantly impacted Mao's intellectual development and his later role as a political leader in China.
