Deng Xiao Ping Rises Over Shenzhen
Not all of Deng Xiao Ping's decisions can be cast in a positive light, but certainly the man deserves this tremendous statue in Shenzhen, the golden child of his 'open door' policies. The primary architect of China's economic reform, from the top of this hill in Shenzhen, Deng can see clearly the remarkable achievements made by a people given the freedom to work to improve their own well-being.

Yes, I agree - Deng's legacy to both China and to the world is a mixed one, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives.
I live in Shenzhen at present, very near to this park, so I have seen this statue many times! Every time I see it I can't help but to question his legacies.
