Chen Yan (R), a 51-year-old Chinese female impersonator of China's late Chairman Mao, waves to the crowd during a photocall in Mianyang in Southwest China's Sichuan Province May 26, 2007. Chen, measuring 1.55 metres (5.1 feet) tall, was discovered by a beautician during a local TV show. She has to wear a pair of specially designed platform shoes to increase her height to 1.80 metres (5.9 feet). Chen is said to be the first woman to impersonate the former Chinese leader.
