About me

Hi, I'm Chaplin who was born on August 7, 1994 in Hong Kong, China. Chaplin in my pen-name, and my name is Peter. But if you want to call me, you'd better call me Chaplin. I like this pen-name more than my name. And remember, if you see any English grammatical or spelling mistakes, please tell it to me immediately. I'm sorry that I'm just a student in Pui Ching Middle School in Hong Kong, I can't use English good as you.

I am a Christian, and I hope that more people can be a Christian too. I will be more active in the future, because I begin to love the English Wikipedia more than the Chinese Wikipedia. I am 165 cm height, and more than 50 kg weight, is an outstanding student who come from the form two elite class. I'm not too ugly at all, and I hope that I can help a little bit in English Wikipedia.

Victorious Youth

The Victorious Youth is a Greek bronze sculpture created between 300 and 100 BCE. It is currently displayed at the Getty Villa, a museum in Pacific Palisades, California. The sculpture was found in the summer of 1964 in the sea off Fano on the Adriatic coast of Italy, snagged in the nets of an Italian fishing trawler. In 1977, the J. Paul Getty Museum purchased the bronze. Bernard Ashmole, an archaeologist and art historian, was asked to inspect the sculpture by Munich art dealer Heinz Herzer; Ashmole and other scholars attributed it to Lysippos, a prolific sculptor of Classical Greek art. The research and conservation of the Victorious Youth dates from the 1980s to the 1990s and is based on studies in classical bronzes by ancient Mediterranean specialists in collaboration with the Getty Museum. Scholars have various theories as to the identity of the subject, the least controversial of which is that the figure was an ancient Olympic runner who held a victor's palm branch in his left arm. His right hand reaches to touch the winner's olive wreath on his head.
