Caption: Yushu, Quinghai, China - Jul 2002. An ethnic Tibetan Khampa boy carrying a poster of Chairman Mao Ze Dong at the opening ceremony of the Yushu Horseracing Festival in Eastern Tibet.

The grandfather of communism in China, Chairman Mao enacted the Communist Revolution, the Great Leap Forward and the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet - all epochs that saw the annhialation of several million Tibetans, the exile of more and the occupation of their land.
