Reminders of Mao Zedong’s connection to Changsha, China, are all over the city, the capital of China’s Hunan Province. His image decorates the city’s new subway. Restaurants advertise his favorite dishes, including fatty red braised pork. On Tangerine Island, Mao’s massive granite head and shoulders rear up as if surveying the world. But at 105 feet, the sculpture is less than half the height of a new Protestant church less than 10 miles away. That disparity, in the very city where Mao spent his youth and first embraced politically radical ideas, has infuriated his most fervent admirers across China. Sensing an ideological challenge to their hero — who founded the People’s Republic in 1949 and denounced Christianity as a tool of foreign imperialism — thousands of Mao’s “red” fans railed against the church’s size and symbolism, saying that building it in a public space was a misappropriation of resources. #Changsha was once a hub of Christianity; #MaoZedong, though, believed that the Chinese must become stronger if they were to throw out the imperialists and missionaries.
