China is the country with the largest number of inhabitants on the planet and its position in the world is increasingly taken as more dominating by becoming one of the main engines of the global industry.
Days ago he unveiled a colossal and epic statue of 58 meters high and a weight of 1.320 tons in HingZhou, China. The statue represents the incredible Guan Yu, a historical figure who stood out in the history of this country for being a famous general during the Three Kingdoms period.
This general has been revered by Chinese culture and symbolizes brotherhood, integrity, loyalty and justice. And it is that not only has it remained in an impressive statue, but inside it visitors will be able to explore an 8.000 square meter museum.
Guan Yu has been erected with a weapon in his hand known as the "Green Dragon Crescent Blade." East saber weighs more than 136 tons. Some of the peculiarities of this statue is that more than 4.000 bronze strips have been used in it.
It has been designed by Han Meilin, who is well known for his designs for mascots of the Beijing Olympics 2008. A spectacular statue that stands dominating the entire panorama of that city and that shows the state of form of a country like China that seeks structures like this to show how its power increases as the years go by.
The funny thing is that they chose Guan Yu for this mammoth statue, a general who represents the God of War and who is placed in this country to denote its most characteristic features such as brotherhood, integrity, loyalty and justice. A god who is most revered in the southern part of the country.
I thought it was the god of war (?)
