What's the name of the sculpture of the boy who peed?

Shao Lian (Dutch: urinating child, French: le Petit Julien), also translated as urinating child, urinating child, is the city symbol of Brussels, Belgium. This world-famous bronze statue of the little boy is a statue and fountain in the downtown pedestrian area. The statue of a five-year-old child is very small (about 53 cm high), but it has a history of nearly 400 years (established between 16 18 and 16 19). Today's statue is a replica of 1965. The original statue is in the Brussels City Museum.

According to the records of the Brussels municipal authorities, 169 1 years ago, there was a stone spring where Xiaolian peed. The earliest historical record of "the child who peed" can be traced back to 1452.

After more than 500 years of events, we witnessed the burning of Brussels by foreign enemies and the looting of two modern world wars. The statue itself has been stolen and destroyed many times, but the "little guy" is still naked and doing what he should do, leaving infinite imagination and countless legends to future generations.

Origin allusions-

There are many stories about the origin of this statue. One of them was 1 142, and the Duke of Gottfried led his troops to fight against foreign enemies. Just when the army was defeated, the duke put his little son in the cradle and hung it under a tree to inspire the morale of the army, and finally defeated the enemy and won a victory.

Another popular story is that a boy named Julian got up in the middle of the night to pee. He saw a burning fuse sticking out of his neighbor's house, and the child couldn't find water to put it out. He had a brainwave and put out the fuse by urinating to save the trapped people. In order to commemorate the child, he made a stone statue in situ and kept it forever for future generations to mourn.

The current bronze statue of Julian was built in 16 19. It was built by the Belgian sculptor Jerome Duxnova and kept in the Brussels City Museum. The original site near the Grand Plaza in Brussels shows the version of 1965. This statue has been stolen seven times.
