Whither Lei Feng, Part Two

(Lots of whithers, lately.  Apologies.  I shall use nary a one going forward.)

That Lei Feng fellow just keeps popping up.  This is kind of weird.

Whither Lei Feng?

If you read Death of a Red Heroine, you'll come across Lei Feng.  This article in today's New York Times offers an interesting postscript to the role of the model worker and propaganda hero in China.  Extraordinary how China has changed even in the twenty-plus years since the setting for this novel.  Now they can't even sell a ticket to a movie about him.
