A 6-meter-high statue of former Chinese leaderDeng Xiaoping stands on a hilltop at the center of the park and dominates the monumental perspective of Futian, marking the northern end of an axial composition that evokes urban design patterns of Imperial China.[4]: 1514 It was created by sculptor Teng Wenjing[5] following a 1995 decision by the Shenzhen Municipal Committee to erect a memorial to Deng that would be inaugurated on the 20th anniversary of ShekouSpecial Economic Zone.[6] As the project generated controversy, the statue was kept for some time in a warehouse while its fate remained unclear, until it was eventually unveiled in November 2000 in the presence of CCP general secretaryJiang Zemin.[4]: 1513
The statue was visited by PremierLi Keqiang in 2015[8] and by CCP general secretary Xi Jinping in 2020[9] as they paid homage to Deng's role in Shenzhen's development.
