Description

Following the death of Mao Zedong, Gu Mu was a major figure in the 1980s ‘Reform and Opening Up’ of China’s economy.

After the founding of the PRC in 1949, he took on a number of important positions in developing China’s economy, before being persecuted during the Cultural Revolution. Following his ‘rehabilitation’ in 1973, he rapidly made up for lost time, and began laying the groundwork for the incredible economic rise the People’s Republic would undergo in the following decades. Gu Mu: Revolutionary Thinker, Organiser and Technocrat features never-before-seen archive photos dating back to the revolutionary wars of the early 20th century in addition to detailed eye-witness accounts and colourful anecdotes of the great man’s life that really bring his true character and influence on Chinese history to light.
