    When Mao Zedong returned to his hometown, Shaoshan, the woman pictured above met him as a teenager. He asked her opinion on the Great Leap Forward, an economic and social campaign by the Communist Party of China. She later created a restaurant to honor him and the cuisine he enjoyed, especially fatty pork. After the group ate a meal there, she said, "May Mao bring you success and wealth," as well as, "Never stop learning".
