On September 16, a netizen posted a promotional video praising the worship of Mao Zedong and passing on the red gene, which was subsequently mocked by numerous netizens using image comments, attracting widespread public attention.

On September 12, 2026, a corner of He Ping Park in Fuyang, Anhui Province was photographed by netizens, showing a large amount of political slogan graffiti on the wall, including "Long live China, world peace", "Capitalist roaders are still walking", "The working class must lead everything", "Never forget class struggle", etc. Netizens reposted it on social platforms and pointed out the phenomenon, with no official response seen.

On the evening of September 8, a large number of people gathered at Mao Zedong Square in Shaoshan, Hunan, singing red songs, dancing loyalty dances, and displaying slogans to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Mao Zedong's death.

China's Ministry of Emergency Management, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and other departments have urgently allocated 160 million yuan in central natural disaster funds to assist affected provinces. The host argues that this amount is too low, with each province receiving an average of only 20 million yuan, which is far from sufficient to cope with the disaster, and criticizes the severe corruption among CCP officials.

Cai Qi, leader of the Central Leading Group for Party Building, issued a notice on studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought, demanding study across the entire Party.

After enduring prolonged and brutal persecution and detention in Kaifeng, Henan, Liu Shaoqi passed away from illness in the early morning of November 12, 1969, and was cremated immediately.

A mass rally to criticize Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping was held in Tiananmen Square. Liu Shaoqi held up the Constitution to protest and was beaten by Red Guards, while Wang Guangmei was also publicly humiliated and subsequently arrested.

Mao Zedong posted the big-character poster 'Bombard the Headquarters' at the plenary session, pointing the spearhead directly at Liu Shaoqi. Liu Shaoqi's ranking within the party plummeted, marking his loss of power.

Because the Three Years of Great Famine exposed numerous problems, the Seven Thousand Cadres Conference was convened. Officials expressed dissatisfaction with the Great Leap Forward at the conference, forcing Mao Zedong to make self-criticism and step back to the second line of leadership, while Liu Shaoqi took over frontline economic management authority.

At the Lushan Conference, Liu Shaoqi brought up old accounts against Peng Dehuai, supported the resolution to overthrow the Peng Dehuai anti-party clique, and subsequently signed the dismissal order in his capacity as Chairman of the State.

Liu Shaoqi was officially elected President of the People's Republic of China in April 1959, reaching the peak of his political career.

At the 7th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Liu Shaoqi delivered a report on revising the Party Constitution, writing Mao Zedong Thought into the constitution. Following the congress, he officially became the number two leader within the party.

During the Yan'an Rectification Movement, Liu Shaoqi catered to Mao Zedong by publishing articles and beginning to use the term 'Mao Zedong Thought,' thereby establishing his political position within the party.

After being filtered by communism, Liu Shaoqi was selected and recommended to Moscow in 1921 for advanced studies, systematically learning Marxism-Leninism.
