As I was passing through Times Square on the way
home from work late Friday afternoon, I was surprised to see rows and rows of
what, at first glance, to my untrained eye, appeared to be one of the Seven
Dwarfs, multiplied many times over. It was only when I looked for an
identifying sign that I saw the title “Hello Kongzi.” But it wasn’t till I got home that I learned that this was part of
an ongoing cultural co-organized by Shandong Tourism Bureau and Shenzhen Broad
Link Culture and Creative.
More to the point, I found out from an article in China Daily, the figures I saw were not a single dwarf replicated
many times over, but 3D cartoon representations of the great ancient Chinese philosopher
Confucius. (The cute statues, if you are interested—and I certainly was—were
fabricated by Lucas Strzalec and Nick Pan.)
