8、毛澤東去世後,西德總理勃蘭特發表的悼詞說:“……對一部分人來說他是希望,對另一部分人來說,他是永久的挑戰。兩種情況都將繼續下去,以後一直是如此”。
毛生前多次點名批判過的鐵托則說:“毛澤東是巨人之中的超級巨人”。
《毛澤東傳》的作者、美國學者特里爾說:“事情總是這麼奇怪,五十、六十年代詆毀他最多的政府,1976年卻對他的讚辭最多。有些領導人說他是人類歷史上一千年才會出現一個的天才。美國《新聞周刊》當天發表的社論標題是《歷史上最後一位巨人》。”
沒有任何崇拜者會比他生前的對手和敵人,更知道毛澤東存在的意義和份量。當然,至今仍有人躲在陰暗中詛咒他。因為毛澤東仍然是那些人的一個消不去的噩夢。
是的,像毛澤東這樣巨大而深刻地影響過世界歷史的巨人,是恐怕不會再有了。但他的精神、政治和全部意識形態遺產已永遠地存留在中國大地上,籠罩着未來的全部中國歷史。
在生前,毛澤東曾經一次又一次地震撼了整個世界。在未來,毛澤東必將成為世界歷史中一個永恆的話題——一個神話,一個傳奇,一個理想,一個夢境! 世界歷史由於曾有過毛澤東而不寂寞。中國正是由於有了毛澤東,中國才仍然是中國。也正是由於創生了毛澤東,中華文明才 再一次向世界最雄辯地證實了它的智慧、輝煌、它的魅力與永恆的生命力!

原文如下:
Walk up to true Mao Zedong in paper in the page "Mao Zedong who attends Ross- Trier is summoned having feeling " But the history strength is lain in history requires that precipitayion , precipitayion queen ability reproduce history truly truly. After Mao Zedong passes away since September 9 , 1976, understanding and explaining to Maoist is always the public opinion hot spot , the eyeball being affecting the world even. The press of nearest Renmin University of China has debuted famous USA scholar Ross · Trier (Ross Terrill) press of classics masterpiece "Mao Zedong conducts " (Stanford University , 1999's) up-to-date printing plate middle version ceremoniously. This this "Mao Zedong conducts " first time be come out on 1981 , be that several hundred kinds west Mao Zedong biography are hit by one of be praised highly most , most best-selling work , be become 8 kinds characters , be spread on a global scale once by translation. But compared with version 1, the new edition has added many new materials , has absorbed the up-to-date achievement that a lot of home and abroad Mao Zedong studies, complete book chapters and sections additions and deletions space reaches more than 1/3, especially flexible depicting changes a maximum to Mao Zedong behind building up a country, the large amount of exquisite , costful photograph applying, makes the history great man unfold before reader's with vivid , moving image. Compared with version 1, the new edition is Maoist lifetime of annotation still mainly from thought , the politics angle, the person floating clouds and flowing water as narrating that and original review of view, make people gasp in admiration; It shows solicitude for individual life and the psychoanalysis especially , the union attaching importance to individuality and the history tableau, lets us touch the "self's inner world" to Maoist true , more all-round , prompter; It is more miraculous to the personage and history circumstances analysis , description to history event is especially concrete , guide reader to show solicitude for the history depth and, careful body odour "story" back times is perplexed , rich emotion of Mao Zedong and the challenge theory is created melting for an integral whole , is that we have described Maoist "true one overall portrait ". Mao Zedong is person , but not god In people's ken, politics and the culture sandy beach lustre which can not submerge the peculiar personage. Finishing reading "Mao Zedong biography " , our as if the dream returns to 20 centuries, has walked into that times , has discovered a true Mao Zedong , has been not upper Mao Zedong of concept but, Mao Zedong who is not apotheosis more. In fact, Mao Zedong absolutely not that great innate leader. On 1911, he has been full of immature longing for to Chinese future , this 18-year-old Hunan youth tentative plan central government actually has been: Sun Yat-sen acts as a president , Kang Youwei serves as Prime Minister, Liang Qichao is Foreign Minister then. Establish Marxist belief and devote into the revolution queen even if in him, be also several ups and downs on politics , experience the flavour failing to the fullest extent. And, the Mao Zedong long range fails to win Muscovite trust of communism revolution centre; Mao Zedong is only a "dyadic Marxist of margarin" in self's eyes, red in Stalin skin Bai Xin , reach no previous real proletarian revolution leader. On the private life, extremely rich human touch of Mao Zedong , sense of humour, pole utensil personality charm. In 1972, when Nixon's China-visiting, Kissinger's assistant Winston · Luode experiences Maoist willpower big and powerful right away once firsthand: But "I believe that I never come across a too such people ", "even if I do not know whom he is, join a cocktail party who has him to be present, he affirms that attracts me over ". that can strength base on he Mao Zedong already melts to become a member of Chinese history Being a American , Trier Sir is from a brand-new angle annotation Mao Zedong , readjust oneself to a certain extent with him in Chinese revolution and world revolution general situation , readjust oneself to a certain extent within history of Chinese society soil, how becomes "riddle Mao Zedong of having revealed a history" then Mao Zedong? Fish for the truth looking for history if needing to find by hard and thorough search really,only when coming back to China, this owns antiquited civilized history for 5000 years country , only possibility produces such a Mao Zedong history great man in country also only the in such. Mao Zedong is that 20 centuries one are rich in the charm revolutionist , that he leads lower PRC is really not one interlude music or song in a film or play of Eutopia theory , is the reconstruction to Chinese society but, have a far-reaching impact on. Be to be inferior despite of that Mao Zedong is one director is more distant than being one traditional ideas rebel , director and fighter, despite of he has such like that fault, but this place charm the preeminent statesman "has controlled a times needing a `superman'" , the new era having opened up Chinese history's, has also changed China's development direction. If 21 centuries are "Chinese's centuries ", Mao Zedong looks upon the quilt as a new's so the golden age founder. Nowhere the history gravitation is absent. Though Mao Zedong leaving us already 30 but his and his comrades has changed Chinese destiny , has also has given 20 century China and world fight to have gone ahead deeply brand, have cast self gigantic person's silhouette on. The present age Chinese must treat the Maoist legacy of history sagaciously , have been an integral whole , have been not allowed to break up because of Mao Zedong already melts with Chinese history, somebody says no wonder like this: Maoist history , self are the Chinese contemporary history that a volume concentrates; Read go by , sum future now having known Mao Zedong , having also only read to have known Chinese , read the thing having known Chinese and Chinese. "Annals of history if warning honor thousand years "! The Xinhua News Agency reporter bend aspiration river , the Li skill peak within a interview record can come to an agreement: "Who also had no way to deny that Mao Zedong comes into being to 20 centuries Chinas and the world, enormous but deep effect and effect; Intense but long-term individual charm and mental strength whose also unable resisting , Mao Zedong own". Mao Zedong criticizes Yugoslavia leader Tito of the Communist Party by name once many times before one's death , Tito acclaims hair "the super giant in one giant" but but after hair passes away. To here, even Sir feels being greatly bewildered: The "thing is always in this way queer , 50 , 60 age calumniates his most government, Ode to him dismisses a maximum but in 1976. Some leaders said he is that human being one genius appears on one thousand years only meeting in history. The editorial title that USA "Newsweek " announced in that very day is "one final place giant in history"".
