    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.
