Chongqing moves Chairman Mao statue

A worker on the scaffolding prepares to move a statue of Chairman Mao in Chongqing on Feb 25, 2014. This is the first time that the city moved a Mao statue. The cement-made statue was built by a factory in the city in 1968 during the "cultural revolution" (1966-76). It was abandoned when the factory moved in July 2012. The site around the statue is being rebuilt into a storage yard of a logistics company. The statue will be moved to the newly built Museum of Chongqing Industry, which showcases the city’s industrial history and achievements. [Photo/icpress.cn]
