March 9, 2006 - Earlier this week I was wandering through a flea market
in Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan province in China's
Wild West. Among stalls selling (mostly fake) antique porcelain and
Tibetan artifacts redolent with the aroma of yak butter, I spotted a
small crimson-red cigarette box bearing the image of Lei Feng, a
chubby-faced soldier wearing one of those goofy, floppy People's
Liberation Army (PLA) hats.
