The image is a photograph of a large statue of Mao Zedong, the former leader of the Communist Party of China. The statue is made of stone and is located on a pedestal. Mao is shown in a standing position with his right arm raised in the air, as if he is waving. He is wearing a long coat with a high collar and buttons down the front. His facial expression is serious and he appears to be deep in thought. In the background, there are trees and a building with a red roof. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
