Kentucky Fried 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.
