Fisher Girl, original cast bronze sculpture (artist's proof) by Pan He (1979) Скульптура - Chong En Cao

The original marble Fisher Girl, made in 1979, can be seen on a rock, just off the coast in the north of Zhuhai, China, the sister city of Macau, and is the iconic symbol of that southern coastal Chinese city.
She has 4 bracelets on one wrist and three on the other because she gave one to her lover. Her father noticed, became angered and forbid her to see him. Thereafter, legends have grown up around her. One has her lover sneaking over the border from Macau, each night, and walking up the long, seaside Lover's Walk, in Zhuhai, to see her. Another has him coming down from the mountain top to the sea to meet her.
Pan likes to make sculpture that will eventually draw people to areas that have few visitors before. He also makes his tributes, not to the government, but to the people. The fisher girl holds a pearl above her head. The true meaning of the sculpture is that the Chinese people work hard and gather many of the natural resources that China has, while Beijing gets all of the credit and the benefit.
This smaller version artist's proof was made around the same time as the original marble version. This small version was not signed by Pan, as he tells us he did not sign the small one. However, it has his stamp on it, which, he explains, his son must have put on it before taking it to the foundry, as it is a seal that only the family has access to.
