Freedom Fliers
January 12, 2020
May Wind 五月的风 is located in May Fourth Square on the waterfront in Qingdao. The park and its sculpture are dedicated to the The May 4th Movement which protested the Treaty of Versailles’ transferring the German concessions in Shandong (including Qingdao) to Japan rather than returning sovereign authority to China.
This sculpture is a rare Chinese celebration of freedom. But the kites flying above it represent freedom everywhere.
