DUING HIS RULE, HE WROTE A BOOK WHICH HE CALLED “QUOTATION FROM CHAIRMAN MAO TSE TUNG” OR “LITTE RED BOOK”. THIS BOOK HAS QUOTES FROM MULTIPLE SPEACHES AND WRITINGS BY MAO TSE TUNG. THESE QUOTES RANGE FROM CLASS STRUGGLE AND, “CORRECTING MISTAKEN IDEAS”, ETC.

THE DESIGN WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY USING A HAND REACHING OUT FOR POWER, LIKE A CLAW. THE RED ON THE METAL STRUCTURE WAS USED TO HONOR THE “LITTLE RED BOOK” HAD ON THE CHINESE POPULATION, EVEN AFTER HIS PASSING.
