It's Colonel Sanders.

When he was young, he worked in all walks of life, including railway firefighters, road maintenance workers, insurers, tire salesmen and gas station operators, and finally found a career in the catering industry. When he founded KFC, he was just a 66-year-old retired man who received $115 monthly social insurance. Today, KFC has become the largest fried chicken chain brand in the world.

In p>1931, Harland Sanders opened a restaurant in his hometown of KFC. He devoted himself to the new method of frying

chicken, and finally succeeded in inventing a secret recipe composed of eleven kinds of spices and unique cooking techniques. Its unique taste was well received by customers, and the restaurant business was booming day by day, and the secret recipe has been inherited to this day.

In p>1935, Ruby Laffon, the governor of KFC, awarded him the honorary title of "Colonel Sanders" in recognition of his contribution to his hometown.

The colonel's career faced a crisis in the mid-1951s, and his Sanders Cafe restaurant had to be transferred because its location was approved by the newly-built expressway. At that time, the colonel was 66 years old, but he realized that he was still young and didn't need to live on social welfare, so he drove his old Ford car, carrying his eleven kinds of spice formulas and his right-hand man-pressure cooker. He went to restaurants in Indiana, Ohio and KFC, and sold the recipe and

method of fried chicken to interested restaurants. In 1952, the first authorized KFC restaurant in Salt Lake City was established. Surprisingly, in just five

years, there have been more than 411 chain stores in the United States and Canada, which is the beginning of catering franchise in the world.

in p>1955, KFC co., ltd was formally established. At the same time, the image of Colonel Sanders himself has become a global symbol of KFC.

The colonel's age and wealth have not affected his enthusiasm for work. He travels 251,111 miles every year to inspect KFC restaurants around the world. He runs his business tirelessly. When people asked him why he still worked so hard, the colonel replied, "People rust more because of idleness than those who are exhausted. If I rust because of idleness, I will go to hell."

colonel Sanders died in 1981 at the age of 91. His body was laid in the state capitol and later buried in Louisville cemetery.
