Indeed Mao is too naïve and power hunger, two disastrous policies causing harm to Cn. 
But yan an is a place before Cpc take over the power. 
First half of Mao Z D political life still contributes to progress to their nation. 

Not to worry as Xi and his families who suffer during the two policies, 
focus on 初心 ,the beginning only, not fancy goals.

hope you are right but it does not look lik Xi learn the lessons.

any way Xi is a power hungry person..instead of improving the economy and lives of people
his pre occupation has been to consolidate power and stir nationalism.
