Man, I love this picture. You
ever go to a tourist attraction, and wind up BEING the attraction?
These guys couldn't wait to pose with a 6 foot 2 American. They call
us -- "large noses." In this case, I think I agree.
On a serious note
... below is the famous tank picture from the Tiananmen Square
Massacre. To the right is that same street today.
 
 
In the video, you can see the
Mao Zedong Mausoleum. His body is on display. I had heard that it
looked more like a wax figure, but the body was in better condition
than I thought. Mao's image is a controversial one. To some Chinese
people he was the hero who brought about the People's Republic of
China, to others he was the figure who instituted the Cultural
Revolution, causing suffering to many Chinese peasants. |
