Free Archive | A Life Besieged by Power and Lineage: The “Puppet” File of Mao Xinyu

In the Qingming Festival of 2026, when Mao Xinyu, the grandson of Mao Zedong, was祭祖 in Shaoshan, an unexpected incident occurred on the scene: a woman knelt down and handed over a petition. This scene is not only a simple expectation of the descendants of the “great savior” by the grassroots petitioners, but also a profound political metaphor. As China’s most well-known “red third generation”, Mao Xinyu’s life has been carefully arranged by Zhou Enlai and other CCP veterans since his birth. He is not only a beneficiary of the power-granted system, but also a “prisoner” of this system.

Pan Shiyi | My Reflections

After three decades of rapid growth, we went from “welfare housing” to a “Ponzi scheme.” When an industry no longer competes on who can build good houses, but instead bets on who can borrow more money, acquire more land, and find more takers, collapse becomes a physical law.

Youthology | Zhang Xuefeng: How a story of “being good for the poor” was established

Zhang Xuefeng, with his “truth” as a blade, pierced the information barriers of university enrollment, but also constructed a utilitarian narrative that sells fear. He is not only describing reality, but also rewriting it, reducing the possibilities of education to vocational training. Behind the controversy is the collective panic of this generation of Chinese people about the future. Guarding memory is not only about remembering a name, but also about seeing clearly the symptoms of the times in which he lives.

Dlit Mom | Has government procurement already deviated from its original intention?

We always thought that by establishing a set of sufficiently complex rules, we could restrain the greed of power. However, twenty years of practice have proven that when procedural justice is alienated into absolute truth, efficiency becomes a sacrifice. Those cumbersome forms and stamps not only failed to completely block those with connections, but instead became a solid fortress that blocked the truth, screened out efficiency, and exempted the mediocre from responsibility.
