China remembers Mao, 40 years after death

It's forty years since the death of Mao Zedong, the founding father of the People’s Republic of China.
For almost three decades, he held absolute power over the lives of a quarter of the world’s population.
In all, 70 million Chinese perished under Mao’s rule and today he still polarises opinion in the country.
