March is the month to learn from Lei Feng in China. Lei Feng is probably the most famous Chinese soldier. He helped many people during his 22 years of life. He passed away more than 60 years ago. But the “Lei Feng spirit” still encourages Chinese people to do volunteer work. In 1963, Chairman Mao Zedong called on (号召) the nation to learn from Lei Feng, and each year’s March 5 has been named as “Lei Feng Day.”
At this time, a group of Malaysian students, studying at the Changsha Social Work College, volunteered to serve passengers at the Changsha Railway Station with their Chinese schoolmates. They worked patiently to help passengers with boarding safety (乘车安全) and ticket booking. They also provided waiting rooms for special passengers and solved problems for them.
“I was so excited when I was called a ‘living Lei Feng’! That was the highest praise for me as a volunteer!” said Lan Zhicong (Chinese name), an international student from Malaysia. He learnt about Lei Feng’s stories when he was in Malaysia. After he came to Changsha, the hometown of Lei Feng, he became a “living Lei Feng” and continued the “Lei Feng stories” with his behavior. “Volunteering is about giving, but I’ve gained a lot, too.” he said.
The Changsha Social Work College has organized a “learn from Lei Feng in Lei Feng’s hometown” activity this year. Several volunteer teams of teachers and students carried out different volunteer services at railway or bus stations, communities or campuses (校园) to carry forward the Lei Feng spirit.

【推荐3】I have been a staff writer for the school newspaper, the Dagligtale, since my first day here at the University of Alberta. I probably won’t work as a reporter after my graduation, but this doesn’t mean my experience in student journalism (新闻工作) has been useless. In fact, I have picked up many important skills through this job.
I still remember my first news story. It was about the victory of the school baseball team. I attended the celebration and was told to do some interviews. I was afraid. Talking to strangers was one of my fears. But I collected my courage and did it. I talked to the students, the players and the team leader. It was something I had never dreamed of doing before. This opportunity gave me confidence and helped me to improve my social skills.
In journalism, everything has to come from facts. As a student reporter, I have learned to do research and to think critically (批判性地) about what I read. Discovering the facts is important when you are writing for the school newspaper, but in the Information Age, this is also an increasingly useful skill in everyday life.
As a student reporter, I always know that I have a lot to learn. ▲ . I have learned how not to take negative (负面的) feedback personally and how to use it to make improvements to myself.
Journalism is a stressful field to work in, but I’m thankful that I have had the opportunity to try my hand at it. It has taught me to be a better storyteller and student. If you are ever given a chance to write for a school newspaper or magazine, take it and learn everything you can!
