The image displays a stone statue situated outdoors, likely in a garden or courtyard, against a backdrop of tall evergreen trees and a building. The lighting suggests it might be evening or night, with a warm yellow glow emanating from the building's interior or exterior lights. The main subject is a light-colored stone statue of a male figure, appearing to be East Asian, wearing traditional clothing. He has a round topknot hairstyle and a slightly aged, solemn expression. He is shown in a standing or kneeling pose, holding an object (possibly a sack or cloth) over his left shoulder. To his right, resting on the ground, is a pot or jar. The statue rests on a large, rough-hewn stone base. The front of the base features carved reliefs, which appear to depict bamboo shoots or stalks. There is also a small, lighter-colored rectangular plaque embedded higher up on the base, but its content is illegible. In front of the statue's base, on the ground, lies a piece of bamboo stick or wood. The immediate ground around the statue is a mix of grass and bare soil. To the left of the statue, a bright green cylindrical trash can is visible. At the bottom of the image, in the foreground, there is a dark rectangular plaque with white text in Indonesian. The text describes a story, which can be partially deciphered as: **Title:** "Meng Zhong Mencari Bambu Muda" (Meng Zhong Searching for Young Bamboo) **Subtitle:** "Untuk Mengobati Ibu yang Sakit" (To Cure his Sick Mother) **Body Text:** "Meng Zhong (kakek-tunggal) berdoa dengan tulus karena ibunya sakit keras. Ia ingin mengobati ibunya dengan sup rebung muda, tetapi di musim dingin seperti itu, hanya ada bambu muda (rebung) yang dapat mencapai usia yang sangat matang untuk penyakit ibunya. Namun, saat itu musim dingin padahal bambu muda hanya tumbuh saat musim semi." "Meng Zhong berjalan kebingungan didalam hutan bambu sambil mencari-mencari rebung muda yang mungkin saja ada yang tumbuh. Dia mencari ke sepinya penjuru hutan namun tak satupun rebung muda yang dia temukan. Meng Zhong kemudian mulai menangis karena takut akan kehilangan ibunya. Tiba-tiba sebuah bambu muda tumbuh didekat kakinya. Meng Zhong sangat terkejut sekaligus senang dan segera mengambil bambu muda itu untuk dijadikan sup agar ibunya sehat kembali." This text recounts a tale of filial piety, where Meng Zhong desperately seeks young bamboo shoots in winter to make soup for his ailing mother, and after his heartfelt prayers and tears, bamboo miraculously sprouts for him.
