Translations:Statue of Liberty/16/en

The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor was the inspiration for the 30-foot statue of the “Goddess of Democracy” created by the Chinese students who demonstrated for freedom in China during April and May of 1989. Although the statue was originally called the “Goddess of Liberty” in Chinese, it became popularly known in China and subsequently in the West as the “Goddess of Democracy” because it represented the Chinese people’s aspiration for political reform and democracy.
