Chen Yan (R), a 51-year-old woman, waves to crowds while impersonating China's late Chairman Mao Zedong, during a photocall in Mianyang, Sichuan province May 26, 2007. Chen, who stands at 1.55 meters (5 feet 1 inch) has to wear a pair of specially designed shoes to increase her height to 1.80 meters (5 feet 11 inches) to imitate Mao.
