It is so ironic that this happened in China, a cultural destination steeped in history.
The authorities painted over an ancient painting with animated-like characters, albeit with a slightly similar look. Their claim was that it was a way of restoration.
The restored painting looks more modernistic and avant-garde. The context of the restored painting is also so different; the postures of the characters and the setting are completely new.
Thank goodness the culprits were asked to leave their posts.
