Stake attention in this memory
Here's a description of the image: The image depicts a bronze statue of a traditional Chinese night watchman, known as a "Gengfu," holding his tools - a striking stick and a wooden clapper. The statue is placed on a stone base next to a building on what appears to be a street in a Chinese city. A plaque next to the statue identifies it as "打更老人 (Dǎ gēng lǎorén)," meaning "Old Gengfu Man," and provides information in Chinese about the statue and its creator, Guo Xuan Chang, a professor at Chongqing University. The plaque also mentions that the statue represents the old era Chongqing "Gengfu" who, besides reporting the time, were also tasked with fire and theft prevention. A reflection of people and shops can be seen in a nearby window. The ground is paved. This seems to be in the Yuzhong District area of Chongqing, China.
