During your trip to Beijing, you will see different faces on the advertising brochures. We will tell you about the most famous Chinese that tourists have to deal with.

On the large gate leading to the Forbidden City, there is a portrait of a man who has nothing to do with the imperial families of China. This is Mao Zedong. He is the founder of the People's Republic of China and the long-term head of the country's Communist Party.

Why is his portrait hanging on the gates of the Imperial palace? It is a symbol of the changes in the country, a symbol that the Forbidden City now belongs to the people of China.

You will see Mao's portrait everywhere, at least you can reach into your pocket and take out Chinese yuan bills. On each of them you will see his portrait. The Chinese themselves treat the leader ambiguously, although it is not customary to publicly express their attitude towards Mao Zedong.

Another person you will see often is a tall basketball player. Yao Ming is the idol of many Chinese people. His face is found on half of the advertising posters dedicated to sporting goods. Yao Ming is a symbol that a Chinese citizen can leave the country and achieve success. He played in the American NBA and became a very rich man.

It's hard to visit Beijing and never see Jackie Chan on the billboards. This actor moved back to China a long time ago and is now working “on two fronts” – making films in Hollywood and in China. He was popular with the Chinese before as an example of a man who could go to the West and achieve great success, but now he is idolized. However, Jackie Chan was born and lived in Hong Kong, it was easier for him.

There is one Chinese man who cannot be seen on advertising banners, but many websites on the Internet mention him as one of the most famous residents of China. This is Tenzin Gyatso– the 14th Dalai Lama. He has never lived in China at all! He was born in Tibet and went into exile in India after the invasion of the PRC army. He does not consider himself Chinese, and it is not worth including him in such lists.

Another very popular character that you will definitely meet is not really a human being. The literary character is the main character of the ancient literary work “Journey to the West” – the monkey king Sun Wukong. Films and cartoons about him are often broadcast on television. On weekends, you can see productions of plays about him in the squares. Children adore him, and they enjoy watching stories about this character every time.
