肯德基作为外来洋快餐显然走在了社会主义精神文明建设的风口浪尖上。

　　现在，他们在雷锋的家乡湖南开出了一家雷锋主题餐厅。

　　Fast-food chain KFC is memorializing a popular Chinese Communist hero with restaurant decor extolling his deeds.

　　快餐连锁店肯德基为纪念一位广受欢迎的中国共产主义英雄，在餐厅装饰中颂扬了他的事迹。

　　The official Xinhua News Agency said the company launched its first “Lei Feng Spirit” restaurant in Lei’s home province of Hunan, ahead of the official remembrance day for the soldier who died in 1962 at the age of 21.

　　官方新华社说，在雷锋的官方纪念日前，肯德基在雷锋的家乡湖南开设了第一家“雷锋精神”餐厅。这位军人在1962年去世，享年21岁。

　　The KFC restaurant in the provincial capital of Changsha is decorated with Lei’s writings and image.

　　KFC in China is run by Yum China, which split from its parent company Yum Brands in 2016.

　　肯德基中国由百胜中国运营，该公司于2016年从母公司百胜餐饮集团分拆出来。

　　The company’s American roots have occasionally made it a target of nationalistic Chinese during times of tension between Beijing and Washington, although it appears unaffected by the current trade war between the two.

　　在中美关系紧张时期，该公司的美国根源偶尔使其成为中国民族主义者的攻击目标，尽管它似乎没有被当前的中美贸易战影响。

　　“Lei Feng has been the role model for generations of Chinese. As the KFC (outlet) in his hometown, we will spare no effort to promote his spirit,”

　　“雷锋一直是代代中国人的榜样。作为在他家乡的肯德基，我们将不遗余力地弘扬他的精神。”

　　In addition to opening the themed restaurant, KFC plans to “promote the Lei Feng spirit in its over 250 outlets in the province and encourage its staff to learn from the role model.”

　　除了开设这家主题餐厅，肯德基还计划“在全省250多家门店推广雷锋精神，并鼓励员工向榜样学习。”

　　Lei Feng day is marked annually by acts of public service such as clearing garbage and visiting the elderly.

　　每年的雷锋日，人们都会做一些公益活动，比如清理垃圾和看望老人。

　　Recent years have seen renewed efforts to update his image, including through television specials and smartphone apps.
