We can't wait for the sequel. --By Chris Taylor

As Mao waited, Guo dispatched a comrade to find a piece of red satin and write "Chairman" upon it in gold. That crisis averted, Mao stood on the rostrum above a massive portrait of himself and announced in his peasant brogue, "The central government of the People's Republic of China is established!"
