Workers hang a new painting (right) of Mao Zedong, the late leader of the People’s Republic of China, onto the Tian’anmen Rostrum in Beijing on Tuesday. The move was a part of a decoration project for the rostrum to celebrate the coming National Day, which falls annually on Oct 1. FRESH FACE PHOTO BY CHEN XIAOGEN / FOR CHINA DAILY
