毛家饭店
(House of Mao Restaurant)
Asian cuisineWhat might a great leader look like — 36 years after disappearing from public view? Would his complexion still glow as the autumn moon?  Would his eyes betray the feelings of a son worried for parents enduring the hardships of old age? What relevant lessons could this experienced face, neck, and chest hold for anyone living in today's mellow years of halcyon comfort?

Nobody knows with certainty. Yet this amazing bust speaks testament both to its sculptor and Mao's niece, who opened the restaurant where it stands for guests to freely assemble and dine. When in China, please visit Mao Jia Fan Dian for an undisappointing eating experience.
