The statue of Lin Zexu
The new statue is of Lin Zexu, who helped to ignite the Opium War by banning the drug, to the chagrin of British officials. Those who brought the Lin statue to Chatham Square say they did so to deliver a strong anti-drug message. But the statue carries a strong political message as well: it underscores the ascending power in Chinatown of immigrants from mainland China, particularly the Fujianese.
Statue of Confucius
When you come to Chinatown, you naturally want to see this Confucius statue. Many colleges and universities in the United States have Confucius Institutes. The statue of Confucius in Chinatown is located at the intersection of the streets. If you come to Chinatown in New York, it is not bad to come and see this statue of Confucius. The name of the donor at that time, as well as the year and introduction of Confucius are written on the base.
