Description
Chinese Mao era composition sculpture, Liu Yingjun & horse
10"L x 5.5"W x 9"H
Liu Yingjun (1945-1966), a native from Changchun, Jilin Province, was from a poor peasant background. In 1962, he joined the People’s Liberation Army. On 15 March 1966, during training maneuvers, he was riding the lead horse of a team pulling a cannon. The horse was frightened by the claxon of a passing long-distance bus, and threatened to run over six playing children. Liu managed to reign in the horse and save the children, but sustained lethal injuries and died. (source: chineseposters.net)
