"Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times" sculpture unveiled in the United States
A group of Hongkongers in US unveiled the "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times" sculpture during an opening ceremony in the Liberty Sculpture Park in Los Angeles on August 29. Lennon walls were erected and the protest song "Glory to Hong Kong" was played at the ceremony to commemorate the anti-ELAB movement.
Weighing more than 70 tons, the sculpture completed today was the latest work of Chen Weiming, who also created a large-scale relief representation of the Tiananmen Massacre and Goddess of Democracy replica.
Chen said in the ceremony that last year, Hong Kong people shedded blood to mark democracy and freedom on the land of Hong Kong. He wanted to show his support by creating this sculpture and installing it on a land of freedom.
