Yeah, it's a lamp.. but the guy underneath was a big judge back from some dynasty (sheesh, when you can't read mandarin and your girlfriend just can't be bothered reading it either, the descriptions just somewhat suffer in the end... bah, ah well, you'll have to come & see it for yourself to find out :P)
ANYWAYS.. so the thing about this judge is that he didn't take any bribes or wouldn't be beholden to threats - he just upheld the law and did his damn job.. and look what that gets you in china, a bloody place in history! There's another guy in Guangzhou that was the same, i'll be visiting his statue soon enough and will try to pry more details out of these buggers...
