Mao Zedong's Mysterious Prophecy

Delve into the mystery surrounding the code which defined Mao Zedong's life. Theories on the origin of the code vary - some say that it was given to Mao by a Daoist Monk, others say that it was the serial number of his favourite Rifle. Yet regardless of the origin, there remains the unexplainable fact that the code aligns perfectly with both the length of Mao's life, and the duration of his leadership of the communist party of China. This video will explore several of the origin theories and assess their plausibility, and will also examine related topics such as Mao's relationship with Chinese religions, and the Central Guard Regiment, otherwise know as Unit 8341.
