A giant gold statue of Chairman Mao has been built in China that's 120ft tall and cost £314,000.
In a somewhat ironic move, the founding member of the Communist Party in China's tribute was funded by a group of capitalists.
The late Mao Zedong may be known outside of the country as the man who brought a great famine which claimed the lives of millions, but within China he has plenty of supporters.

Entrepreneurs spent 3 million yuan to construct the statue from steel covered in gold paint, Chinese media reports. It was finished in December after nine months work.
The founding father of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao launched the country's Great Leap Forward in 1957.
