According to Euronews on the 15th, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg posted a post on Instagram on the 14th, which sparked heated discussions on social media. The post showed a statue about 2 meters high, which was tailor-made for his wife Priscilla Chan. Zuckerberg said he was very satisfied with the move and said he was "reviving the Roman tradition of making statues for his wife."

The statue, created by American artist Asham, is mainly in silver and turquoise colors and shows Chen enjoying the breeze wearing a silver cloak, the back half of which is made into the shape of wings.

Some netizens praised Zuckerberg's move as romantic, saying "husbands all over the world are trembling", while others commented "I have to reconsider the gift I give my wife now". However, some people disagreed with this, with one netizen commenting "this is the most typical billionaire behavior". Another netizen called it "awkward", saying "statues are used to commemorate deceased relatives".

It is reported that Zuckerberg and Chen got married in 2012 and have three daughters.
