Guangzhou Part 9 - Interesting Bronze Sculpture


These Sculptures are located in Shamian Island and I found them interesting. First sculpture shows a street hawker selling malt candy to 2 children. I used to enjoy the sticky malt candy when I was a child. It is interesting to see the container of the malt candy. Second piece shows a Chinese using a abacus (珠算) sitting with a foreigner. The abacus is an unique calculator used in trade and sale of goods. The last interesting sculpture is the transformation of the modern Chinese lady. The artist seems to feel that the modern lady has shorter pants and a tighter blouse.
