media - Lei Feng gets a girlfriend

"I'm no Lei Feng" was one of my favorite sayings in Shanghai. The famous hero, a product of the communist propganda machine, had turned into an anti-hero among the people.
Lei Feng did good deeds into the extreme and was at a very young age killed in a very unheroic way by a telephone pole, so the spindoctors had a free hand in reinventing him.
On 5 maart he should be remembered an in a nice effort to modernize Lei Feng, now the existence of a girlfriend will be disclosed, writes the Shanghai Daily. Since it is all a fabrication anyway, it would have been even better if Lei Feng had had a boyfriend.
