Mao and the Peasant - Tian’ anmen Square

Apparently the cult of Mao is still very much alive and strong. Today I witnessed groups of Chinese lining up in front of the giant portrait of Mao that looks over Tian’anmen Square to have their photo taken. So I naturally joined in. One of them even took my photo.

There is just something about this photo that speaks volumes about the history of China.
