    Yes, I'm afraid this is rather new. It's very out of proportion. The figure is meant to be Guan Yu, the god of war, as evidenced by his special blade. Sometimes he holds a book, which gives him literary merits. Paradoxically, he is both the police force's and the underworld gangsters' god of choice... I don't know what emoji to follow that with.
