A middle-aged woman has bemused her countrymen by bringing China's famous leader Mao Zedong back to life.
Dressed in a grey, button-up waistcoast Chen Yan is the spitting image of the deceased Communist leader, who ruled China with an iron grip for decades.
Chen, 51, from Mianyang, in China's southwestern province Sichuan, has been dressing up as Mao since she was discovered on a local TV show in 2005 impersonating another actor who had played Mao in movies.
"I was impersonating (the actor) when the beautician saw some similarities between me and Mao," Chen said, as make-up artists fussed over her in a Mianyang hair salon.
The beautician realised Chen's prominent cheekbones and imperious demeanour could be turned into a money making scheme and invited her for a make-over, she said.
