Might change to "Mao's given name" as his first name was Mao.

I must have tried every possible spelling combination except the right one, including the one we were taught in school during the Dark Ages, Tse-tung, even though it didn't start with z. (The name of "The Little Red Book" is Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung.) I came close with Zadong and Zaedong, but apparently not close enough.

I couldn't get Lao Che out of my head, then I realized that was the guy from Temple of Doom.

Can satin be accepted as well as silk? Or is it a wrong answer to the question?

Satin is artificial while silk is natural, so I don't think satin should be accepted.

No it's not. It's a weave. Silk can be woven into a satin weave.

The most common surname is now Wang, (or Wong if you're Cantonese speaking).

YOU obligated to find out any and all acceptable spellings of Mao s name and for non Chinese speakers you should be very lenient , instead you have people hacking for 2 minutes at any spelling except the exact one you mandated , one glitch in my opinion you should correct because i missed that one while i knew the answer

Nahhhh, Zedong is the correct pinyin for 泽东. Pinyin is the official romanization of the People's Republic of China. Today he is widely referred to with this given name.
