See the Massive Statue of Mao Zedong Under Construction in China
A new photo shows construction of a new statue of Mao Zedong in China's Tongxu County on Monday, depicting a grand scale project that appears to be nearly at completion. The statue reportedly measures 120 feet 36.6 meters in height and is located in Zhushigang village. It commemorates the Chinese Marxist who was the longtime leader of the country's communist party, serving as chairman both of the People's Republic of China and the Communist Party of China. Mao, who died in 1976, is already commemorated in thousands of statues around the country.
