Zhuhai Fisher Girl is a granite statue in
Zhuhai, China, designed by
Pan He and completed between 1979 and 1982. Standing 8.7 metres (29
ft) tall in Xianglu Bay and weighing about 10 tonnes, the statue is of a fisherwoman holding a pearl high in the air, inspired by a local legend recorded in various versions. Commissioned during the development of the
Zhuhai Special Economic Zone, the statue was cited by supporters as enabling the city to establish its own cultural identity, though its cost and depiction sparked some controversy at the time. Since its installation, it has become part of Zhuhai's growing tourism industry.
Zhuhai Fisher Girl was designated a
cultural relic in 2014, and later plans have proposed expanding the surrounding area into a larger recreational and tourist site. This photograph of the statue was taken in 2024, with part of the Zhuhai skyline in the background.

Chris Redfield is a character in Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan), a survival horror video game series created by the Japanese company Capcom. He was introduced as one of the two playable characters of the original Resident Evil, which was released on March 22, 1996, appearing with his partner Jill Valentine as members of the Raccoon Police Department's Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) unit. Chris and Jill fight against the Umbrella Corporation, which creates zombies and other bio-organic weapons through bioterrorism. Later, the pair become founding members of the United Nations' Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA). Chris is the protagonist in several Resident Evil games, novels, and films, and has also appeared in other game franchises. In later games, his features were based on New Zealand model Geordie Dandy. Critics have been polarized in their discussions of Chris, and several publications consider him one of the sexiest video game characters. (Full article...)
