Chairman
Mao Returns
"同志们好!"

"同志们逛街辛苦!"
“首长更辛苦！
Comrade Mao
Zedong visited a shopping street
in Sichuan
If
someone looks like Mao Zedong, walks like Mao
Zedong, talks like Mao Zedong, such as the
one shown in the picture, must he be Mao
Zedong?
Not
necessarily. First of all, Mao has passed
away and rested in a crystal coffin for
thirty years, to this millions of people can
provide witness testimony; and secondly, the
one in the photo is not a man, but a woman,
this her makeup artist can prove.

In
fact, Chen Yan lacks not only
fundamental manhood, but essential
stature, to pass herself off as China’s
mighty chairman. Being just 1.6m
tall, this 51-year old mother needs
to wear a pair of shoes with a 30cm
thick heel to reach the impressive
height of the late giant.

Though
it sounds like a bad joke to have a
relatively short woman to play an
extraordinarily lofty man, especially when
the man in question is the most well-known
figure in contemporary Chinese history, some
of China’s leading TV stations, including
the state-sponsored Chinese Central TV and a
renowned pioneering Hunan television station,
are reported to be dead serious in
considering to give her a try, since the
physical similarities between the two are so
striking.
If
she does take the role, then that would be
very interesting, very. But when that
happens, should we call her Chairman Mao or
Madam Mao? Gotta ask – no offence intended.
