Mao is still larger than life. He united the country and made many good decisions and a few really bad ones. But he is still revered by most Chinese. We joined thousands of tourists and visited Mao’s hometown and his farm house where he was raised. The souvenir shop was my favorite spot where they had turned everything imaginable into a sellable Mao memento. There were Mao playing cards, lighters, cups, mugs, plates, pendants, pens, key chains, bronze busts, and many more.
