Mao Zedong's Mausoleum caretaker delays changes because of political rumors.

The man in charge of Mao Zedong's tomb, Hua Long, said there won't be new things added to the museum soon. He said everything will stay the same until things become clearer with the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party.

Hua Long also said he heard rumors that the current leader of China, Xi Jinping, might visit the tomb. He said he would be very happy to have Xi Jinping visit, but the visit is postponed for now.

Some people are saying online that Xi Jinping might be sick or having problems with his job. But Hua Long said Xi Jinping is busy working with papers.

A big newspaper in China, People's Daily, also said that the rumors about Xi Jinping are not true. The newspaper said there is no reason to think that someone else will become the leader of China.

The newspaper even printed a big message on the front page that said, 'Nothing happened.' This seems to be a way to tell people not to worry about the rumors.
