山西是中华民族的重要发祥地之一、我国重要的老工业基地和革命老区。在革命战争年代,毛泽东同志就密切关注山西,对山西的革命斗争作出过许多重要指示,指导新民主主义革命取得了彻底的胜利。新中国成立后,毛泽东同志仍然心系山西这块热土,对山西的社会主义革命和建设极其重视, Shanxi is one of the important birthplaces of the Chinese nation, an important old industrial base and an old revolutionary base in China. In the era of the revolutionary war, Comrade Mao Zedong paid close attention to Shanxi and made many important instructions on the revolutionary struggle in Shanxi Province, guiding the complete victory of the new-democratic revolution. After the founding of New China, Comrade Mao Tse-tung remained deeply rooted in the hot land of Shanxi and attached great importance to the socialist revolution and construction in Shanxi.
