When talking about “good people”, who first comes to your mind? Many Chinese might think of Lei Feng. In China, Lei Feng is a symbol of the giving spirit. People who act selflessly are sometimes talked about as “living Lei Feng”.

Born to a rural family in Hunan in 1940, Lei grew up poor. He became a soldier in 1960. But just two years later, the young man died.

During his short life, he did not fight in any wars, nor did he achieve any world-changing achievements. But he has been remembered as a national hero.

Lei devoted（奉献）all his life to helping others. He carried luggage（行李）for the elderly and gave food to children. He once gave all the money he had to the sick parents of a friend. He often helped his fellow soldiers and taught them how to read.

Lei is not a “Superman”, but a role model for every person. Being kind to others is something that everyone should try to do.

According to Chairman Mao Zedong, Lei served the people whole-heartedly throughout his life. On March 5, 1963, Chairman Mao wrote in an article that people should “Learn from Comrade Lei Feng”. Later, March 5 became “Lei Feng Day”.
