Mou Dengde, an elder more than 70 years old from Southwest China's Chongqing municipality, has spent 40 years cutting figures of famous characters from China's four great classical novels out of stone. Mou's stone statues are all lifelike, and he said that he draws inspiration from TV dramas and picture books. The four great classical masterpieces of Chinese literature are Journey to the West, Outlaws of the Marsh, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and The Dream of Red Mansions. [Photo/Chinanews.com]
