Henan province’s “mega Mao”, was built in a rural corner of Tongxu county at a cost of 3m yuan (about $600,000)
────────
This picture shows that Mao is no more. The hands, legs and feet appeared to have been hacked off, and a black cloth draped over his head. This statue was actually never authorized from the government and ordered to be torn down.
Apparently, It was built by an industrial capitalist obsessed with Mao:
According to villagers and reports on online chat sites, the statue was the idea of a local businessman, Sun Qingxin, the head of the Lixing Group, a conglomerate that manufactures machinery and owns food-processing facilities, hospitals and schools. Mr. Sun paid for the statue, they said.
Mr. Sun is also the deputy chairman of the County People’s Congress Standing Committee, a powerful local position.
“He is crazy about Mao,” said a villager who identified himself as Mr. Wang, a potato farmer. “His factory is full of Maos.”
