American Restaurant in China Spreads Communist Propaganda Through Supposed Hero

Kentucky Friend Chicken (KFC) has made a restaurant enshrining a soldier who is used as a model of communist behavior. The restaurant was opened in Hunan, China on March 4, according to Chinanews.com. The soldier, known as Lei Feng, has been used since the 1960’s as an icon of dedication to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to indoctrinate people. The KFC restaurant was opened on the memorial day for Lei, who died in 1962 at the age of 21. The city, Changsha, is Lei Feng’s hometown.

Customers are greeted with cartoon versions of Lei pasted to the glass windows, in the “Spirit of Lei” restaurant. There is even a state of Lei in the entry way, designed in a way to look appealing. Walls are adorned with quotes attributed to Lei as well. Some scholars have called into question the stories surrounding Lei.
