[Bill Vigil, 06/22/2021]CCP Virus... or Covid-19 Cenobite?
What better way to practice social distancing than at a park dedicated to protesting the Chinese Communist Party? I had seen this place from the I-15 but had never stopped; I'm glad I made the stop today. The fence of protest on the north side was very timely and topical, and the Tiananmen Square Tank and brave man was a solemn reminder of the protests of decades ago. Please enter the park from the Yermo Road entrance; don't just drive across the desert from the giant Ice Cream Sundae.
[Jim Jordan, 04/12/2020]Artist and dissident Weiming Chen has unveiled his latest sculpture in Liberty Sculpture Park. Titled "Tank Man," it's a life-size version of the famous photograph of an unidentified man, holding a briefcase, defiantly standing in front of a column of Tiananmen Square tanks. Chen made the man out of 1,300 pounds of bronze-painted concrete. He wanted a real tank, but last-minute delays forced him to build one from scratch out of steel, wood, fiberglass, plaster, and plastic foam.
Visitors are welcome to stare down the tank next to Tank Man.
According to a story in the Los Angeles Times, Chen's future projects for the Park may include a 200-foot-tall "Goddess of Democracy" statue, and a big chrome-plated head of Lenin in a cage.
