The People’s Republic
1 Oct 1949 — From the Gate of Heavenly Peace, Mao proclaims the People’s Republic of China: “the Chinese people have stood up.” Thirty-eight years after Wuchang, the succession to the Qing is finally settled — at a cost this atlas’s final chart tries, soberly, to count.
This is one scene of Chapter 12 — The People’s Republic in China in Revolution, 1911–1949.
