Beijing Mao-era Restaurant Leaves Locals Seeing Red
From Xinhua:
Waitresses in green army uniforms and red “Serve the People” armbands salute customers and greet them with “I swear to Chairman Mao that I will serve you with all my heart.”
The young women, mostly about 20 years old, then usher the customers through the main entrance of the Mao-era restaurant, whose facade resembles a bunch of books, the “Collected Works of Mao Zedong“, set in the middle of a red flag.
But the “Red Flag Fluttering” eatery, which opened in south Beijing’s Daxing District last year, could be starting a revolution among locals, who are questioning the taste of its theme more than its food.

Here’s an idea. Maybe they can kill all of the people who complain about the food….That would really bring back fond memories!!
