In June 1959, at the invitation of the Hunan People’s Publishing House, Fu spent nine days in Shaoshan to highlight two major sites: Mao Zedong’s former residence and Shaoshan Mountain. The scroll opens on the right with a depiction of the magnificent emerald-green mountain rising above a valley dotted with the modern structures brought to the village under socialist reconstruction: a school, guesthouse, post office, cultural center, and the people’s commune. The culmination of the scroll on the left is Mao’s family residence, deliberately brought closer to the viewer for easy recognition.
