Are there really Marx and their portraits in Tiananmen Square?

Yes Since the 1950s, whenever Tiananmen Square holds national day military parade, celebrations and other major political activities (such as the "July 1st" commemorative meeting), besides hanging the portrait of Comrade Mao Zedong at the gate of Tiananmen Square and erecting the portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen beside the Monument to the People's Heroes, portraits of Ma, En, Lenin and Stalin are also erected on the east and west sides of Tiananmen Square.

However, since the 1980s, when holding similar celebrations and military parades, only portraits of Comrade Mao Zedong and Dr. Sun Yat-sen were hung, but no portraits of Ma and En were placed.
