The legacy of Cuba’s revolutionary hero Che Guevara

Che Guevara is the Argentine-born doctor who became an iconic figure after playing a key role in Fidel Castro’s revolution in Cuba, where his image adorns t-shirts and mugs, as well as buildings.

Cubans are marking the 50th anniversary of Guevara's death.

Al Jazeera’s Lucia Newman reports from Havana on the legacy of the man who helped turn Cuba into a socialist state.

"Che is not only an intellectual, he was the most complete human being of our time, our era’s most perfect man."

— Jean Paul Sartre

From what I've heard and read, he preached by example, he never asked others to do what he couldn't do. That inspires respect. Actually, it's really hard to be like he was, there are stories from his comrades that say that when they were fighting at Sierra Maestra, some of the people that lived there (guajiros), gave them food, to the entire unit, and of course, since he was the boss, they gave him the best food, meat, and whatnot, they also invited him to eat inside their houses, while his troops would have to eat outside, he rejected that and went to eat outside to share his food with his men. That says a lot of the type of person he was.

“The wings of our hearts fell” he inspired such emotion and poetry.

Sartre called Che the most complete human being, and nobody has come along since to surpass him. Ernesto will continue to be the benchmark for all people to strive for.
