A snowy goodbye to Kobe

Kobe Bryant's retirement is a big deal for basketball fans who watch NBA games for years on end, and it's no exception for Chinese fans. Several students in Jilin province showed their respect and love for Bryant by drawing a picture of him on an outdoor basketball field covered by snow. It took four hours for the students to pull off the detailed work, using simple tools such as brooms and buckets. The "Forever 24" indicates his jersey number.
