Harland David Sanders (English: Harland David Sanders, September 9, 189-December 16, 198). He is famous for the names of Colonel Sanders (also translated as Colonel Sanders) and Grandpa KFC, and is the founder of KFC. Until now, his photos have been posted on the packaging of KFC, and the picture of his face has become a trademark of Kenta Group.

Life:

Early days:

Harland Sanders was born in Henry Town, Indiana on September 9, 189. When his father died at the age of six and his mother had to work, Saunders took on the responsibility of cooking for the family. He dropped out of school in the seventh grade. When his mother remarried, he ran away from home because his new father beat him. In his youth, Saunders held many jobs, including fireman, ship driver, insurance broker, and once served as a soldier in Cuba.

Becoming a Colonel:

At the age of 4, Saunders cooked chicken for people passing by his service station in Corbin, Kentucky. At that time, he didn't have his own restaurant, so he served dinner in the residence of the service station, gradually became famous in the local area, moved to a motel restaurant that could accommodate 142 people, and began to work as a chef. In the next nine years, he improved the method of cooking chicken. Today, KFC still uses the 11 herbs and spices he used at that time. Saunders also used pressure cookers instead of pans to enhance the flavor of chicken and shorten cooking time. In 1935, Ruby

Laffoon, then governor of Kentucky, awarded Saunders the title of "honorary colonel".

Become a millionaire:

However, when Colonel Sanders was 66 years old, he was forced to sell his restaurant and live on social security because he was building a road on American Route 75. And that money was not enough, so he traveled all over the country to promote his fried chicken method. If the restaurant likes the taste of fried chicken, pay 5 cents to the colonel for each piece of chicken signed up for sale. He was rejected 19 times before he was finally affirmed. Through unremitting efforts, he began to move towards a millionaire again.

Sanders moved the company's headquarters to Shelbyville, Kentucky, and retired from the kitchen in 1964 to sell the business to a group of investors, but he always acted as the spokesperson of the company and made many TV advertisements between 195s and 197s. The main building of the headquarters was not sold, and a new hotel was opened. As the new owner of Kentucky bought the trademark "Colonel Sanders", the new hotel was named Claudia

Sanders' Dinner House. The hotel is still open, with many photos and souvenirs of Saunders' family.

Death:

Saunders was diagnosed with leukemia in June 198, and died of pneumonia on December 16th of the same year, with a life span of 9 years. He was buried in Cave

Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky, with his well-known clothing-white suit and bow tie. Later, the cartoon-like Colonel Sanders (voiced by actor Randy Quaid) appeared in more and more KFC advertisements.
