Lei Feng is alive in New York!...

... and spotted doing menial tasks like sweeping the roads, picking up the trash, cooking and putting up pictures of Chairman Mao. No, really, it's just the Red Laowai in his latest incarnation. Tired of singing Chinese commie propaganda songs, he became Jay Chou for a while before donning on his uniform again to become Comrade Lei Feng, the soldier in whose footsteps the youth of China have been indoctrinated to follow. In this latest single / music video, the Red Laowai is singing a song that many Chinese kids learn in school. Some of you guys with a lost childhood might want to catch up on what you missed out:

Anyone with friends/family in this New York please have this guy's ass kicked. And does he try this stuff in Chinatown?

@nanheyangrouchuan 我也同意. to quote Triumph, "now he's asking to be pooped on"

I think we get that this guy exists, you can't keep using his boring news to make up an article. This is the third time.

I'm sick of this dude, too.

And I'm a little unsure where Shanghaiist found the "drunk" in the line 爱憎分明不忘本 ;-)

Since when is 毛主席 translated as President Mao?

I've always wondered why 胡主席 is translated as President Hu.

Try saying 胡总统 to someone and check out the looks you get.

Political correctness汉语怎么说呢?

Hu Jintao was elected president of the People's Republic of China on March 15, 2003.

Alcoac: remember that, although they are effectively parallel structures, the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party are technically two separate entities with their own rules, titles, memberships, etc. Hu is concurrently the President of the state, and the Chairman of the Party.
