Hunan KFC branch honors Lei Feng spirit

Kentucky Fried Chicken has launched a new themed branch in honor of Lei Feng, a model soldier celebrated in China for his selflessness and modesty, in his hometown of Changsha, Hunan province.

The restaurant opened on Sunday, two days before Lei Feng Day, when people celebrate his spirit by showing goodwill and giving helping hands to others.

Two big Lei-like statues stand at the entrance to the restaurant and the interior is decorated with cartoon portraits of Lei and quotes from his diary, with words from his poems playing as background music.
