This is why I love being a Michael Jackson fan! For every piece of negative garbage that is out there, there are also inspiring and positive stories like this!
To refresh your memory, I first wrote about this statue in an entry from back in October:

Just one of the wonderful thoughts bringing in the new year!
Yesterday did not only ring in 2011, but provided another triuphant image towards Michael’s legacy. In China yesterday, the unveiling of Michael’s statue brightened his family and his fans’ hearts all around the world.
“Loyal Chinese fans of the late “King of Pop” Michael Jackson have donated 158,000 yuan ($23,000) to erect the first bronze statue of their idol in China.
This project has been approved by the local government and will be completed and installed on January 1, 2011, said Huang Zhenhui, the head of the project. The statue will stand in Guangzhou Sculpture Park in Guangzhou City, capital of south China’s Guangdong Province.
Huang said they will hold a ceremony on the inaugural day and raise money for charities, which will spread Jackson’s message of love.
“I’m thrilled to see our dreams will finally come true,” Huang said.
Famous sculptor Lu Zhenkang has been designing the statue.”
