Statue of Caocao erected in central Chinese city

A stone statue of Caocao, a historical figure in China's Three Kingdoms Period, was erected in city Xuchang, central China's Henan Province, on Tuesday.

The Hefei Evening News reported that the granite statue is nearly 7 meters tall and weighs over 200 tons.

Caocao founded the ancient Wei Kingdom (220 - 265A.D.), and Xuchang served as Caocao's de facto capital during the Three Kingdoms Period.
