    Disregarding the weirdest propaganda meme I have literally ever seen.

    Lei Feng died of very very non-natural causes, supposedly when he was struck by a telephone pole that had been hit by a truck.

    It’s also worth noting that he was essentially just a caricature of the “perfect revolutionary” for the Chinese government, it’s very hard to establish any historicity to any of the things attributed to him.

    Well, good thing this is memes and not science. Not saying I find it interesting or amusing, either, but its relevance doesn’t have a bearing on its value.

    Lei Feng, the epitome of temperance? He was very fond of long and hard poles, or so I’ve heard.

    (And I like how everything is slightly wrong in this meme. Too bad no one was purged in this list)
