29. Evil Landlord Manor

In the old days in the 1920s and 1930s rich landlords own most of the land and the peasants farmed the land for them. A percentage was owed to the landlord. Many would cheat the peasants and if they didn't pay they would be thrown in a dungeon until the payment was made. Mao chopped off the heads of the landlords and gave the land to the peasants. This one landlord's manor has been kept for a reminder to the people. All new soldiers are taken here to remind them of the past. Inside you can see the crooked scales and the cages he kept the peasants in.
