In the West, the saying "the tall blade of grass gets chopped down" is a description of resentment, and it is an indictment of a policy or social attitude that punishes excellence or success. In Chinese culture, it is viewed differently; either the saying is taken as a neutral description of human nature, or it is considered a wise and just policy. Behind the indignation of many Chinese people at negative depictions of Mao is the question, "who are you to judge Mao, Mr. Tall-blade-of-grass?"

Why should I? Zhang is the same type of trash like Li ZhiSui. I wish she got the same revenge from the God like the God did on Li, who dead suddenly right after his press conference on his second slander book. The matter of the fact is, Chairman Mao Zedong is THE GREATEST Chinese leader in China's history. The mere fact that 30 years after he passed away, he is still so hated by his enemy, and loved so very much by MOST Chinese, shows he ROCKS! For the last 30 years, they have been trying to make Mao Zedong looks bad, what is the result? MORE and MORE young Chinese people have becoming Mao's admirers. Lin Dan, for example, still wearing Mao's badge on his jacket, and claiming it is Chairman Mao's bless make him win the Olympic gold medal in men's single badminton this time. As for how you foreigners and a couple of Chinese trash think about Mao, I could not care less! Chairman Mao Zedong is so GREAT that no matter how his enemies bad mouth about him, he is still GREAT, NOW and EVER! So the case is closed!
