★Lei Feng’s Deeds 1: The People’s Servant

p>

Starting from 1961, Lei Feng was often invited to give reports in other places. The more opportunities he had for business trips, the more opportunities he had to serve the people. There is a popular saying: "Lei Feng traveled a thousand miles on business trips. A trainload of good things has happened."

One time when Lei Feng went out to change trains at Shenyang Station, as soon as he got out of the ticket gate, he found a group of people gathered around a middle-aged woman carrying a child. It turned out that this woman was going from Shandong to Jilin to see her husband, and the ticket and Money is lost. Lei Feng used his own allowance to buy a train ticket to Jilin and stuffed it into the hands of his sister-in-law. The sister-in-law said with tears in her eyes: "Brother, what is your name and which unit do you belong to?" Lei Feng said: "My name is the People's Liberation Army. Live in China."

One day in May, Lei Feng was going to Shenyang in the rain. In order to catch the early train, he got up at around 5 o'clock in the morning, took a few dry steamed buns, put on his raincoat and set off on the road. On the way, I saw a woman carrying a child on her back and leading a little girl by the hand, who was also walking with difficulty to the station. Lei Feng took off his raincoat and put it on his sister-in-law, then picked up the little girl and accompanied them to the station. After getting on the train, Lei Feng saw that the little girl was shivering from cold, so he took off his own underwear and put it on her. She probably didn't eat in the morning either, so she gave them the steamed buns she brought. When the train arrived in Shenyang, it was still raining, and Lei Feng took them home again. The woman said gratefully: "Comrade, I can't thank you enough!"

Lei Feng came back from Anton and changed trains in Shenyang. He picked up his backpack and walked through the underground tunnel when he saw a white-haired old lady, leaning on a stick and carrying a big burden, walking step by step with great difficulty. Lei Feng walked up and asked: "Auntie, are you here?" Where are you going?" The old man said out of breath, "I came from Guan Nei to Fushun to see my son." When Lei Feng heard that he was going the same way, he immediately took the big bag and supported the old man with his hand. Come on, aunt, I'll take you to Fushun." The old man was moved and praised him one after another for being a good boy.

After entering the carriage, he found a seat for the aunt, and stood next to him. He took out the bread he just bought and stuffed one into her hand. The old lady pushed it out and said, "My child, I'm not hungry, you can eat!" "You're welcome, aunt, eat!" The affectionate name "child, child" touched Lei Feng a lot. He felt like his mother was calling him. As affectionate as a nickname. He stayed by the old man's side and chatted with him about daily life. The old man said that his son was a worker and had been out for several years. It was her first time here and she didn’t know where she would live. As he said that, he took out a letter and Lei Feng took it and looked at it. He didn't know the address on it, but he knew the old man's eagerness to find his son, so he said, "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely help you find him."

True to his word, Lei Feng arrived in Fushun, carried the old man's burden, supported the old man, and asked around for more than two hours before he found the old man's son.

During the Chinese New Year, the comrades happily engaged in various recreational activities together. Lei Feng and everyone played table tennis at the club for a while, and they thought of how the service and transportation departments are the busiest during the New Year, and how much help these places need. He put down his racket and called several comrades from his class. After asking for leave together, he went straight to the nearby Paoertun Station. One helped clean the waiting room and the other poured water for passengers. Lei Feng got the whole class involved.

Lei Feng chose to never stop and wholeheartedly do good things for the people. No wonder people think of Lei Feng when they see people who do good things for the people.

A voluntary labor

One Sunday in the early summer of 1960, Lei Feng had a severe stomachache. He went to the health department at the regiment headquarters and prescribed some medicine. When he came back, he saw a construction worker Construction was in full swing on the construction site. It turned out to be a building for Benxi Road Primary School. Lei Feng couldn't help but push up a small car and join the procession of transporting bricks. Until the noon break, Lei Feng was surrounded by a group of workers and faced everyone. He said: "We are all contributing to the construction of socialism. Like everyone else, as long as I fulfill my obligations, I can be considered a part of the light!" That afternoon, I learned about Lei Feng's name and the location of his troops. The city's Second Construction Company organized workers to beat gongs and drums to send letters of thanks. Only then did everyone realize that Lei Feng, who was ill, had done a good deed and had a special Sunday.

Respectable "idiot"

In August 1960, there was a flood in Fushun, where he was stationed, and transportation was connected to the flood fighting and rescue command. Lei Feng endured the pain of his burned hand that had just participated in fighting the fire and fought hard at the Shangsi Reservoir Dam with his comrades for seven days. On the seventh night, he was given a second-class merit certificate.

A mobilization meeting was held in Wanghua District to call for large-scale production. He went to the Wanghua District Party Committee Office to donate 200 yuan to make some contribution to the construction of the motherland. The comrade who received him really couldn't refuse his friendship, so he had to accept half of it. The other 100 yuan was spent in Liaoyang when Liaoyang suffered a flood that had never happened in a century. Donated it to the people of Liaoyang. When our country suffered a severe natural disaster, he donated all his savings for national construction and the disaster area, but he was reluctant to drink a bottle of soda.

★Lei Feng’s Deeds 2: Children's intimate person

After October 1960, Lei Feng successively served as an out-of-school counselor at Jianshe Street Primary School (now Lei Feng Primary School) and Benxi Road Primary School in Fushun City.

Lei Feng usually works. He is very busy with studies, so he can only use his lunch break or days when he can't drive on rainy days to ask for leave to go to school to talk to teachers, talk to classmates, or carry out other tutoring activities. He is good at uniting children and inspiring them to study hard and make progress every day.

Lei Feng has a high sense of mission. A sense of responsibility and hard work to cultivate the next generation to thrive. In recognition of Lei Feng's deeds, the Fushun Municipal Committee of the *** Youth League issued a certificate on May 28, 1962, which read: "Award to the outstanding counselor Comrade Lei Feng, stay glorious and keep moving forward."

★Lei Feng’s Deeds 3: Model Squad Leader

In September 1961, the entire regiment unanimously elected Lei Feng as a deputy to the Fushun Municipal People’s Congress.

After Lei Feng attended the National People's Congress, he returned to the company and served as squad leader of the second platoon and fourth squad. Under his leadership, the fourth squad became the "Four Good Squads", and Lei Feng also became the fourth squad of the entire company. Good monitor.

One evening, it started to rain heavily. Lei Feng saw a woman on the road holding a child in her arms, holding the child in her hand, and carrying a baggage, sliding step by step in the heavy rain. As they were walking, Lei Feng hurriedly stepped forward to inquire and found out that the sister-in-law had returned from visiting relatives out of town and was going to Zhangzigou more than ten miles away. She said anxiously: "Comrade, the rain has made me confused today. There is a child here, and I can’t even cry home!”

Lei Feng put his raincoat on his sister-in-law, picked up the older child and walked towards Zhangzigou in the rain, preferring to get wet himself! Wet, we walked for more than two hours before sending mother and son home.

★Lei Feng’s Deeds 4: Modesty and Prudence

Since Lei Feng joined the army, he has won many awards for his meritorious service. He was elected as a representative of the Municipal People’s Congress and attended the first *** Youth League Representative Conference of the Shenyang Military Region. , his photos, diaries and exemplary deeds. Through newspapers. The radio station carried out extensive publicity, and Lei Feng received letters of enthusiastic praise from all over the country. He wrote this passage in his diary: "Everything I have is given by the party. The glory should go to the party and to the enthusiasm for helping me." Comrade, as for the work I have done personally, it is too little. My small contribution is still not enough compared to the requirements and expectations for me..."

★Lei Feng's Deeds 5: Sacrifice The story

At around eight o'clock in the morning on August 15, 1962, Lei Feng and his assistant Qiao Anshan drove back to the station from the construction site in a drizzly drizzle.

After they drove the car into the company's parking lot, they found a lot of mud and water splashed on the car body. Regardless of the fatigue of the long drive, they immediately asked Qiao Anshan to start the car and go to an open space to wash the car. After passing through a relatively narrow aisle in front of the barracks, for safety reasons, Lei Feng stood on the edge of the aisle, raising his arms and directing Xiao Qiao to reverse and turn; "Left, left... Back! Back!" Suddenly the left rear wheel of the car slipped into the road. By the ditch, the car swayed violently and suddenly knocked over a square wooden pole usually used to dry clothes and quilts. Unfortunately, Lei Feng was hit on his right temple by the falling square wooden pole. He fell to the ground on the spot and fainted...

The comrades immediately sent him to a nearby hospital on a stretcher for rescue. Chiefs at all levels rushed to the hospital immediately, and at the same time brought Shenyang's medical experts to Lei Feng's bed as quickly as possible. Due to skull injury, resulting in brain dysfunction, Lei Feng, a good son of the working people and an outstanding member of the Communist Party of China, was only 22 years old, and he said goodbye to us forever!

On August 17, a grand memorial service was held at the Wanghua District Government Auditorium in Fushun City. Nearly 100,000 people escorted Lei Feng's coffin to the Martyrs Cemetery.

In January 1963, the Ministry of National Defense named Lei Feng's class "Lei Feng Class". The *** Youth League appointed Lei Feng as the outstanding counselor of the National Young Pioneers. The General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army,* The Central Committee of the ** Youth League, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, and the All-China Women's Federation have successively issued notices on learning from Lei Feng. People's Daily, People's Liberation Army Daily, China Youth Daily, etc. have successively published editorials commenting on and introducing articles about Lei Feng's deeds. On March 5, 1963, major newspapers in the capital published Chairman Mao Zedong's glorious inscription: "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng"

Lei Feng's famous saying:

A drop of water can only be released Only when you enter the sea will you never dry up. A person can be most powerful only when he integrates himself with the collective cause.

A single flower cannot make a beautiful spring day. Only when one person takes the lead can one move alone. Only when everyone takes the lead can the mountains and seas be moved.

We are the masters of the country and should think about the country at all times.

Human life is limited, but serving the people is unlimited. I must devote my limited life to unlimited service to the people.

Treat comrades as warm as spring, treat work as hot as summer, treat individualism as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves, and treat enemies as ruthlessly as the harsh winter.

...If you are a drop of water, have you moistened an inch of the land? If you are a ray of sunshine, have you illuminated a bit of darkness? If you are a grain of food, have you nurtured useful lives? If you are the smallest screw, will you always stay at your position in life? If you want to tell us what you thought, do you disseminate the most beautiful ideal day and night? Since you are alive, do you work hard for the future of human life, making the world more beautiful day by day? I want to ask you, what have you brought for the future? In the warehouse of life, we should not just be endless payers. Lei Feng's famous sayings

Youth is always beautiful, but true youth only belongs to those who always strive for the top, those who always work selflessly, and those who are always humble.

Strength comes from unity, wisdom comes from labor, action comes from thought, and honor comes from collective.

When it comes to work, you should look to the comrades with the most enthusiasm, and in life, you should look to the comrades with the lowest level.

Looking back at that period of history, it is often not Lei Feng’s personal life story that gets the attention. Instead, we should learn from the history of Lei Feng’s “movement”. For example, for more than 40 years since then, I have studied Lei Feng regularly every year, always on the day when Chairman Mao’s inscription was published, not on Lei Feng’s birthday or death anniversary. For another example, in the "Comprehensive Mirror of the People's Republic of China and the History of the Country", the "Learning from Lei Feng Movement" is recorded as a "major political event"; and what is listed before it is "National Study of the People's Liberation Army and Strengthening the Movement of the People's Liberation Army". Political work"; followed closely by "excessive criticism in the ideological field".

By the way, at the end of 2000, I searched on the National Library website and found that there were 311 books on Lei Feng provided - this number is equivalent to Guo Moruo, and about one and a half times that of Hu Shi and Chiang Kai-shek. More than 2 times that of Liang Qichao and Zhou Zuoren, 4 times that of Qian Zhongshu and Li Hongzhang, 8 times that of Yan Fu, more than 10 times that of Chen Yinke, more than 20 times that of Jiang Fangzhen, 100 times that of Li Yizhi... (Research again after more than a year, The bibliography of Lei Feng has been greatly reduced)

Overseas historians are also concerned about the political implications of learning from Lei Feng. Related events mentioned in the relevant work include "the rise of Lin Biao's status" after the Lushan Conference, the "socialist education movement", the "two into one" movement of criticism, and so on. Meissner pointed out that in the early 1960s, the People's Liberation Army "appeared on the Chinese political stage for the first time. The role of the army was initially limited to propaganda. The first one was regarded as a standard Maoist moral model and had a noble taste in life. The most widely promoted military hero is the legendary Lei Feng." Fairbank analyzed several political events related to learning from Lei Feng, and then believed that this movement had six effects: "superstitious worship of Mao", "imitating the army", "manual labor", "education for all", and "reawakening collective socialist spirit" and "proletarian culture." Fairbank went on to point out that it was these that "defined the goals and methods that would later become the basic content of the Cultural Revolution."

But in any case, Lei Feng himself was not a political figure when he was alive. In fact, in the minds of most Chinese people, learning from Lei Feng has always been a public welfare activity that advocates helping others. Regardless of its origin, after forty years of hard work, it has now been reduced to "a simple symbol" - which can be "extremely concisely summarized in three words: 'Do good things!'. This is obviously better than using "political leadership" Or "selfless dedication" summarizes the "Lei Feng Spirit", which is more appropriate, more plain and less controversial. As for in recent years, there are still people who are willing to discuss whether the "Lei Feng Spirit" belongs to the "Communist Spirit", the "Spirit of the Times" or the "Spirit of the Times". "National Spirit"; "Lei Feng Spirit" and today's market economy and consumer society are "opposite" and "complementary", or it is possible to "combine"... Let them continue to discuss.

< p> In the past half century, there are countless heroes and models who have appeared in various official publications as ordinary and great figures. Zhang Side, Meng Tai, Shi Chuanxiang, Zhu Boru, Li Suli, Kong Fansen...

After the naming conference was held, major national media such as Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, People's Liberation Army Daily, and China Youth Daily increased publicity on Lei Feng's ordinary but great deeds, creating an unprecedented sensation in the entire military across the country. As a result, Lei Feng's name became a household name, resounding throughout the Great Wall and across the country. Immediately afterwards, several major newspapers and periodicals wrote reportage on Lei Feng's deeds, and distributed reviews and excerpts from Lei Feng's diary. Writers and poets in the literary and art circles also wrote articles and Poems were written to enthusiastically praise Lei Feng's spirit. In short, the whole country unanimously proposed that Lei Feng's spirit should bear fruit in the land of China, and a campaign to consciously learn from Lei Feng was launched vigorously on all fronts across the country.

At the request of the magazine "China Youth", Chairman Mao Zedong wrote "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" on February 22, 1963.

The joint issue of the 5th and 6th issues of "China Youth" on March 2, 1963. Published, Chairman Mao's inscription "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" was published for the first time in history. Three days later, on March 5, 1963, "People's Daily", "Liberation Army Daily", "Guangming Daily" and "China Youth Daily" were published. " and so on, Chairman Mao's handwriting was prominently displayed on the front page. From this day on, an activity to learn from Lei Feng flourished across the country. From then on, March 5th became the day to learn from Lei Feng. Memorial Day.

Inscriptions from party and state leaders

On March 6, 1963, the day after Chairman Mao’s inscription was published in major newspapers in the capital, "Liberation Army Daily" Exclusively published the inscriptions of Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and Deng Xiaoping, the national leaders in Beijing.

Liu Shaoqi’s inscription is: “Learn from Comrade Lei Feng’s ordinary and great communist spirit. "

Zhou Enlai's inscription is: "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng, a clear class stance, a revolutionary spirit that is consistent in words and deeds, a communist style that forgets self-interest, and a proletarian fighting spirit that disregards one's own safety. ”

Zhu De’s inscription is: “Learn from Lei Feng and be a good soldier of Chairman Mao.”

"

Deng Xiaoping's inscription is: "Whoever wants to be a true communist should learn from Comrade Lei Feng's moral character and style. In response to the request of "China Youth" magazine,

Chairman Mao Zedong wrote the inscription "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" on February 22, 1963.
