"Omnipresent amid all the frenzy of Shanghai is that famous portrait, that
modern icon. The faintly smiling, bland, yet somehow threatening visage
appears in brilliant hues on placards and posters, and is painted huge on the
sides of buildings. Some call him a genius. Others blame him for the deaths
of millions. There are those who say his military reputation is inflated, yet
he conquered the mainland in short order. Yes, it's Colonel Sanders. "
