Tips

history
Mao Anying was killed on November 25, 1950 at a Chinese People's Volunteer Army HQ in North Korea when US B-26 bombers dropped napalm. His death at 28 is frequently cited in Chinese histories as the reason Mao discouraged later leaders' children from seeking dynastic succession.
culture
In the internet era, '炒饭' (egg fried rice) became an obscure online meme mocking him — allegedly his cooking attracted the airstrike — a reference so sensitive that restaurants have been pressured around November 25 for selling the dish.
