Designated the best Chinese double of Mao Zedong, Mrs Chen, 51 years creates a sideshow every time she goes out.

Chen Yan - 陈燕 is native of Mianyang - 绵阳 in the Sichuan province - 四川 and despite the firm opposition of her family, this bulldog is not ready to give up her President Mao outfit.

Each make-up session lasts more than 4 hours and costs about 2,000 yuans (200 euros).

The compensated heels allow Chen Yan to be just as tall as the great helmsman himself.
