Introduction to Manneken Pis: Belgium’s Manneken Pis statue can be said to be one of the strangest national symbols in the world. The bronze statue was built in 1619 and is the work of the master sculptor Jerome Kosno. The statue is only 50 centimeters high. , but his fame spread all over the world, becoming a representative figure of Belgium, the most popular and noble citizen of Brussels, and was honored as the "First Citizen of Brussels".
During a Belgian people's war against aggression, the defeated Spanish invaders, as they fled the city, lit the fuse leading to the underground gunpowder magazine of the city hall in an attempt to burn the city center to the ground. At that time, a little boy named Yu Lian discovered the burning fuse. He was so anxious that he immediately extinguished the fuse by urinating and extinguished the fuse. The city was spared, but Yu Lian was shot and killed. In order to commemorate this meritorious minister, people deliberately erected a sculpture of a naked boy peeing in the center of Brussels as a memorial.
The bronze statue of Yu Lian sits on a marble-carved pedestal about two meters high. He has fluffy hair, a turned-up nose, and is naked. He is smiling and standing on a marble-carved pedestal about 2 meters high. , peeing as if no one else was around. Her innocent and playful posture and lifelike expression that day were so lifelike that almost everyone loved them. It is said that Julien "sprinkles" tap water on weekdays and beer during carnivals.
