China landed the Zhurong rover on the Red Planet on May 14, becoming only the second country after the United States to successfully soft-land on Mars. Zhurong is named for the "god of fire," a figure associated with Mars, which the Chinese call Huoxing, the planet of fire. In Western culture Mars was the Roman god of war, its red color symbolic of blood and battle.
