It was reported on January 4th, 2016 that in a village in Tongxu County, Henan Province, PRC, local villagers raised funds to build a statue of Chairman Mao Zedong dozens of metres high – which is very eye-catching. According to reports, this Chairman Mao Zedong statue was invested and built by several entrepreneurs, including some people in the village – who donated tens of thousands of yuan. The design height is 36.6 metres, and the total cost is nearly 3 million yuan.
Chairman Mao Zedong is in a seated position (facing “South”) and is made of steel bars and cement. The outer layer is painted with golden paint and there is scaffolding next to it. From time to time, people come by car to take pictures in front of the statue of Chairman Mao. The front of the statue faces south – the back faces North (the traditional Chinese alignment), with Chairman Mao in a seated position. It is made of steel bars and cement. The outer layer is painted with golden paint and there is scaffolding surrounding the structure.
On January 4th, 2016, at around 11 a.m., a reporter from Yingxiang.com came to Zhushi Gang (朱氏岗) Village, situated in Tongxu County, near Kaifeng City – East-Central Henan province. Situated toward the northwest corner of the village, a giant statue of Chairman Mao Zedong – which is about to be completed – stands at the head of the village!
