Abstract
Broadcast Transcript: Move over Super Mario. Here comes Lei Feng. Who? Lei Feng, the youthful national hero of the Communist Party. Feng is the subject of China's latest video game hit. As Feng, players mend socks, live in poverty and contribute labor and income to the party to gain reputation points. In what could be the most exciting stretch of the game, Feng must hunt for a copy of the Quotations from Chairman Mao while fighting off anti-party temptation. As long as players keep Feng's loyalty meter high and devote his life to service to the party, he may have a chance to reach the apex of the game... to meet Chairman Mao for an autograph. Eat your heart out, Zelda! #ceas #china #schneiderwind #tsutsui
