Dominic Johnson-Hill, the founder of Plastered T-shirts, got the idea a few months ago to create stained glass portraits of Chinese iconic “heroes.” Five stained glass artists in China were commissioned to create the pieces with each artist choosing their favorite Chinese “hero.” The images that have emerged are striking and so far, Mao (above) was chosen by an artist in Jiangxi, while other “heroes” include Lei Feng and Deng Xiaoping.
Check out the Plastered T-shirts blog for more photos of the production process.

Unfortunate choice of words here. “heroes” should have been in quotes at least. Anyone who knows their history knows Mao was a mass murderer, as was – on a smaller scale – Deng. Would you have used “heroes” to describe Adolph Hitler or Pol Pot?
Alternatively “Chinese Government heroes”. Many Chinese reading this headline will be hurt by its insensitivity.

Hi Michael,
Appreciate the comment and I’ve added the quotation marks as your point is well taken.
Thanks!
