A large and portly snowman, reflecting the fact that many battles during the Sino-Japanese War were fought during bitterly cold winter months., has been given facial features that resemble those of a stern Japanese general. Four Chinee soldiers who come across the snowman are terrified; they keel over, fall backward, and one even appears to beg for mercy.
Three Japanese soldiers standing behind the snowman burst out in laughter, mocking the Chinese soldiers for being so easily intimidated.
