On june 26th, china voices online, from today on in changsatung county, tourists are able to meet with the mao zedong youth art statue. After more than three months of clean beauty, the statue was brand-new and resurfaced。
Two showers, two labor experts
The sculpture is based on the image of mao zedong in 1925, which is 32 metres high, 83 metres long and 41 metres wide, with a base of 3,500 square metres, made up of more than 8,000 pieces of permanent red granite rock taken from the high mountains of fukushima, weighing approximately 2,000 tons, and is the country's largest artistic statue. According to the information received, the mao zedong youth art sculpture was built and opened to the public on 26 december 2009 in orange continent, which became a landmark site for the new image of changsha, as well as a good place for tourists from the general public to look forward to great people。
“it is the first time that a statue has been in existence since 2009 and has been built on a large scale and in depth, using only small-scale clean-up, mainly water-washing, and clean-up projects.” in the past nine years, according to the officials in charge of the orange landscape, the protection of the original stone and the preservation of the statues had been rendered waterproof and the stains had entered the stone, requiring deep cleaning and protection as a result of wind and rain erosion. In order to ensure a good view of the statue, the scenery decided to carry out this year a large-scale, deep-seated conservation of the statue. It was explained that, in order to clean up the science of the preservation of the mao zedong youth art statues, since the beginning of the previous year, the orange landscape had invited national and international experts to conduct analytical tests, protect experiments and develop technical protection programmes for the cleaning of the statues, with the participation of experts from the palace museum on two occasions。
There's a lot of facewashing
It is understood that the statue cleaning and protection works began around 20 march and were completed on 25 june for more than three months. The construction was carried out in three phases, beginning with the cleaning of the statue's surface, namely, “face wash”, followed by the re-filling of the stone with the stone, i. E., “sew-proof perforation”, and ending with the surface coating of the entire statue, i. E., “face mask”。
“it took almost a month to build a scaffold, and the steel pipe went back to the workers, because the surroundings were unable to work with the towers, and the statues were mostly slanted.”
It was described that approximately 5,000 m2 of operational surfaces had a heavy construction workload and were demanding and detailed. If the statue surface is cleaned, “the contaminants attached to the statue's surface, together with previous coating material, are washed away without causing damage to the stone itself, so that the strength of the brushing and the speed of the current must be strictly controlled”. The scenery staff said that the statue's surface was washed in the form of a “particle wash” which was like a dentist washing the patient's teeth, washing the bacteria from the surface of his teeth without hurting his teeth; in the course of suture-proofing, workers are required to remove a small amount of dirty stuff from the sutures between the stone and the stone, such as sealing glue and dust, and then to treat it with sealing glue; finally, a special protective agent is added to the statue by means of a combination of machine spraying and hand-washing. The main material of the protective agent, it was described, was organofluorosilane, which, after coating, had the effect of “polls”, which made the surface of the statue as smooth as the surface of the leaf, and contaminants such as dust and impurities were not easily attached。
It is also understood that the newly created young mao zedong art museum in the statue is expected to open on 1 july for public visitors。
