Did you know that #Mao #Zedong didn't speak Mandarin?
He was a native of Shaoshan, Hunan province, which spoke Old Xiang. It made it hard for some people to understand him, while others saw him as unsophisticated.
Interestingly, Mao also decided to learn English instead of the (in 1950) more common Russian.
