"From 1954 until Mao Zedong's death twenty~two years later, Dr. Li Zhisui was the Chinese ruler's personal physician, which put him in almost daily~and increasingly intimate~contact with Mao and his inner circle. For most of these years, Mao's health was excellent; thus he and the doctor had time to discuss political and personal matters. Dr. Li recorded many of these conversations in his diaries as well as in his memory. In The Private Life of Chairman Mao he vividly reconstructs his extraordinary experience."
