Sichuan
In Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, on April 17, 2025, the monumental statue of Mao Zedong towers over Tianfu Square in Chengdu, with his arm outstretched toward the future. It serves as a symbol of an era and the revolutionary legacy, recalling Mao's lasting impact on Sichuan, a region long marked by rural poverty and mass mobilization campaigns.
