A bundle of flowers is seen in front of a billboard featuring a portrait of the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in Shenzhen, China February 19, 2007. The huge billboard of Deng presides over an intersection in the heart of Shenzhen, part shrine, part tourist attraction and part ad for market reforms. Hundreds visit each day. A few bring flowers. Everyone poses for pictures. For those without cameras, 20 yuan ($2.58) buys two snapshots of yourself, printed and laminated on the spot -- one before the Deng billboard, and one facing the other way with Shenzhen's skyscrapers in the background. Ten years after his death, Deng Xiaoping, often referred to simply as "Comrade Xiaoping", is still revered as the man who truly awakened the sleeping giant that was China. [Reuters]
