Yes, blogging is for everybody. Even in the People's Republic of China that democracy is still a luxury.
Mao Xinyu, a 38-year-old senior colonel in China’s People’s Liberation Army is also a blogger. He’s not just any blogger - his blog, which is all about Chairman Mao, was voted most popular by the readers of People’s Daily last year. Xinyu is the grandson of Chairman Mao. The founding father of communist china.
Mao's blog is dedicated to an appreciation of his grandfather, who died when he was six years old. The founder of communist China is still admired by many people here- despite the fact that millions died because of famine and conflict during his rule.
Mao Xinyu's resemblance to his grandfather means that he tends to get stopped whenever he goes out in public. Last March, he's try to make his way to a political conference at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, held just a few metres away from his grandfather's mausoleum. Grandson Mao had to stop every few steps to pose for pictures with delighted Chairman Mao fans.
Too bad his blog is not yet translate to English. We will waiting Mao, for you to share your blog to everybody in the world.
