Walking in major cities around the world, you can see many bronze sculptures of animals and various urban bronze sculptures. There are a pair of famous animal bronze lions on the Bund in Shanghai, which are the bronze lions in front of the former Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (Far East).

This is now Zhongshan Dongyi Road 12, and today's Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and HSBC Bank are here. A pair of bronze lions were cast in front of the door according to 1996. One is called roar, and the other is called silence. Even the deep saw marks on one of the tails are the same.

People call the bronze lions HSBC lions. Why are there saw marks on the lion's tail? This must start with the history of HSBC building a new building in Shanghai.
