In the 1960s, Madame Mao emerged as the power behind the Cultural Revolution and a

threat to Mao. They became estranged - she even had to apply in writing to see him. Mao's dance parties were stopped and his favourite opera, the decidedly counterrevolutionary The Emperor Seduces the Barmaid, was banned.

"I have become a monk," Mao cried despondently.

But he soon found that even the Cultural Revolution had its perks. As chaos reigned throughout the country, three of Mao's girlfriends turned up, claiming they had been denounced as imperialists and thrown out of their housing to wander the streets. Mao said: "If they don't want you, you can stay with me. They say you're imperialists? Well, I am the emperor."

While the fanatical Red Guards tore China apart, Chairman Mao amused himself with

these three pretty young women. One of them even became pregnant. Mao sent her to a hospital reserved for the highest cadres and she gave birth to a baby boy. Everyone was jubilant that Mao had a new son. Neither Mao, nor his doctor, mentioned that Mao was sterile.

His sterility did not bother him. What did concern him was potency. Already he was suffering bouts of impotence and he was determined to remain sexually active until the age of eighty. Like the old emperors of China, he believed that the more sexual partners you had the longer you lived. The first emperor of China, the father of the Han race from whom all the other Chinese are thought to be descended, is said to have made himself immortal by making love to a thousand virgins. The Emperor Qin Shihuangdi, founder of the Qin dynasty, sent a Taoist priest and five hundred virgin children across the sea in search of the elixir of immortality. According to the legend, the Japanese are their descendants. But of all the emperors, Mao thought that Sui Yangdui (AD 604-618), the architect of the Grand Canal, was the best. He lived a decadent, opulent life full of women. He would even have his pleasure boat pulled upstream by beautiful young girls attached by silken cords.

Doctors injected Mao with ground deer antlers - an old Chinese remedy for impotence. It did not work. A Romanian formula called H3 was also pumped into him for three months.

That did not work either.

His physician then decided that the problem was more psychological than physical. He noticed that Mao's sexual potency waxed and waned with his political power. During the Great Leap Forward, he was insatiable. One of his bedmates told his doctor: "He is great at everything - it's simply intoxicating."

His appetite also seemed to increase with age. So the doctor started giving him a placebo

- a concoction of ginseng and glucose which he told Mao was a bodybuilding tonic.

During the late 1960s, when Mao was at the height of his power, although he was in his early seventies, he had no problem with the young women. As he grew older, they grew younger - it was a formula the emperors had used before him.
