Mao Zedong was born on December 26, 1893 in the Chinese province of Hunan. He worked on his family's farm until he was 16, when he moved away and attended a higher primary school. He enlisted in the military for the 1911 revolution, after which he attended the First Provincial Normal School. He participated in the student demonstrations of 1919, which led him to become committed to communist and Marxist ideals. He joined the Chinese Communist Party and led China's communist revolution.
