A new nickname

Filed under: Interesting bit — Tyler @ 10:04 pm

The Chinese researchers and technicians have been calling me this for months, “Lei Feng.” When I asked them who that was they answered that he was a model Chinese citizen, selfless and always giving to the community. Ends up the Communist Party in China used him for propaganda material. Most are not sure if this soldier in the People’s Liberation Army ever existed, but he was held up as an example during the Cultural Revolution. He always helped his fellow soldiers and took time for the community.

Now the Chinese call me this because of my helpful nature. Not sure how I feel about being a model citizen, from Communist China in the 60s (always thought I was in the wrong place and time). But, I defiantly sure I don’t want to die like this guy. He was killed when a truck backed into a pole that then hit him. Bummer. Fortunately I don’t look anything like him.
