Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mao Zedong (26 December 1893 – 9 September 1976), also known as Chairman Mao, was a Chinese communist revolutionary who was the founder of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), which he led as the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party from the establishment of the PRC in 1949 until his death in 1976.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mao did not subscribe to Marx’s theory of inevitable cyclicality in the economic system. His goal was to unify the Chinese nation and so realise progressive change for China in the form of communism; hence, a revolution was needed at once.

Detailed explanation-3: -Essentially, the great retreat made Mao the undisputed leader of the Chinese Communist Party.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Cultural Revolution, formally known as the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a sociopolitical movement in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) launched by Mao Zedong in 1966, and lasting until his death in 1976.
