http://www.scmp.com/video/ In this video, Hong Kong-based photographer Andre Eichman talks about globe-trotting and travelling the mainland with Mao Zedong. The man behind a new exhibition of portraits, entitled "The Chairman and I", started his Mao mission in 2003. After he met Comrade Gu Ping (Zhou Enlai's wife's bodyguard during the Long March) in Gansu province, he began taking the project more seriously. "I just wanted to see what people did when I handed them a statue of Chairman Mao," Eichman says. "Some would laugh or smile, others would say, 'I don't want to hold it'. Sure, the Communist Party doesn't look anything like it did back in the day but the influences still echo around. You can't deny that he's had an effect on just about everyone who lives in China." "The Chairman and I" photo series will be on display from today until October 18 at the Foreign Correspondents' Club, Hong Kong.

What did Mao Zedong really say on October 1, 1949? History records that Mao uttered the now famous slogan: ''The Chinese people have stood up.'' It's perhaps the most famous slogan on the mainland and those few words nicely sum up the prevailing sentiment at the time: The Communist Party, at last victorious, had stood up to Japanese invaders, meddling western influences and a corrupt Kuomingtang. But despite what the history books and documentaries teach, those who were in Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1949 say Mao never utter the phrase for which he is credited.
