** ADVANCE FOR TUESDAY, DEC. 26 ** A bank clerk shows a new 20 renminbi (then 2.40 U.S. dollars) note, bearing a portrait of Mao Zedong, founder of the People's Republic of China, Oct. 20, 2000 at Bank of China in Shanghai. The new note started circulating Oct. 16 officially to replace old 1 and 2 renminbi notes. Was Mao a monster or an authentic Chinese hero? Historians, journalists and many Chinese are still pondering these questions at the 113th anniversary of the birth of Mao, father of communist China. Mao was born on Dec. 26, 1893.
