300 million? Isn’t it a little too much~

If Chairman Mao is still alive, he probably wouldn’t approve.

Haha, I’ll take a look, not going to comment, because I’m afraid of being pursued across state lines.

Can somebody tell me, what is the practical use of spending so much tax payer’s money building this kind of thing.

wangjing5818:

Spending huge sums constructing a statue, is it meaningful? Such a massive formalist project, at best it is to paint a good face for the officials, as to gain some so called “political achievements”. Instead invest [money] it toward the building of the national economy in order to do something practical for the common people! If there are really no projects then just build roads, I don’t believe the roads in Hunan are all modernized!

Today we are still building for his kind of person? The sorrow of humanity!

Support! Forever remember Chairman Mao’s thought.

qingchenghai:

Although we respect and love our founding father, but isn’t this a waste of money and people’s labor? Is it that some people once again pocketed the wealth for themselves! China always pursue things in vanity, I think even if our great leader knew about this matter, he will certainly be angry!

Classic case of the cult of personality..

魏西:

I’m afraid of saying anything.

Everybody work hard, maybe many years from now, your head sculpture will also be like this.

Even America have sculptures of great persons, why can’t China have them? Sore mentality!

So stupid, have so much excess money building a head sculpture, why not use it to aid the disaster areas.

Imitating the Sphinx?

Hairstyle look like Beethoven’s O(∩_∩)O haha~

Chairman Mao was after all a great man, what is the big deal about spending 300 million constructing a head sculpture, why his successors waste more than 3 billion every year. Where are their contribution? How much do they worth?

Hunan people are the highest grade of SB.

月落之蓝:

Motherfucker, have so much money why not build some houses for poor people to live instead.

猪梓儿:

300 million!? How much of it will be corrupted away~

sxwa111:

Remembrance of Chairman Mao is good, but using money off the working people is not good.

梭克麦阔可:

I think it is worth it.
