Feat of Clay Has Customers Queuing

2001/03/01

Queues have been forming in Sun Dongan Plaza for a professional sculptor who makes very lifelike clay busts of people's heads. And business has been brisk, reports Beijing Evening News, with customers very satisfied with this novel alternative to photographs of themselves. Some customers, including newly married couples, have returned for further busts to pass on to their family and friends. One young man in the queue described the busts as"more meaningful" than pictures because they represent a talking point when he entertains friends at home.
