Era of Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung)
Located in Zhong-shan (Sun Yat-sen) square （中山广场）in Shenyang （沈阳）, China, surrounded by the sculptures of his followers, this monument of Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung) was built during "Culture Revolution" (initiated by Mao, occurred in 1966 - 1976), one of the worst (also most bloody) political, economical and humanitarian disasters (against their fellow citizens, their own culture and history) in the history of China. This one should be one of the three tallest Mao's monuments built during that time. This one is also one of a few that are being preserved. Numerous similar but shorter monuments were built as well. The background building on the left (with 12 Chinese characters in red fond on top of the building) is an dental and maxillofacial surgery hospital, one of the teaching hospitals in the medical university I graduated from. The background building on the right is the headquarter of Shenyang's Workers Union General (沈阳市总工会）which in reality has nothing to do with protecting workers' rights. All other background buildings are the banks.
