Postcard made in China. The text on the postcard:”Shaoshan. The threshing floor where Chairman Mao used to work”. Shaoshan is a county-level city in Hunan Province, China. As the birthplace of Mao Zedong, the founder of the People’s Republic of China, Shaoshan was an important base during the Chinese Communist Revolution. Mao remains a popular figure in the area, and red tourism to Shaoshan and other places related to China’s communist background has driven the local economy, while increasing people’s understanding of China’s revolutionary history.
