Black Cat, White Cat

Mao Zedong’s statue stands prominently in Changsha’s Dongfanghong Square. The contrast between the white Mao and the dark man, a shadowy doppelgänger, reminded me of the renowned Deng Xiaoping quote: "It doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat.”
