March is the month to learn from Lei Feng in China. Lei Feng is probably the most famous Chinese soldier (军人). He was born in 1940 in Changsha, Hunan.

Lei Feng often spent his spare time and money in helping people in need. He did many good deeds (善举) in his life. For example, he gave his own money to the parents of another soldier, and bought tickets for a woman he didn't know without telling her his name. Lei Feng hardly ever spoke about what he did. After he died, people found his diary and learned about him. “There is a limit (限度) to one's life, but no limit to serving the people,” Lei Feng once said in his diary.
In 1963, Chairman Mao Zedong called on (号召) the nation to learn from Lei Feng. Lei Feng is more than a name in China; he’s a symbol of selflessness (无私). Lei Feng is a role model and all Chinese young people can learn from him. The spirit of Lei Feng will always be with us.

Confucius was a great thinker and teacher in the Spring and Autumn Period of China. He was born in Qufu, capital of the state of Lu (part of Shandong). He acted as an official there. But he was perhaps a better thinker than he was an official and he ended up having to leave the state of Lu. In the next 13 years, he travelled around the other states, spreading his ideas. And he tried to teach people that peace was very important for a healthy society. However, it was not until the rule of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty(156-87 BC) that his ideas were accepted by most people. In his last few years, he returned to Qufu, where he spent the rest of his life teaching. His teachings were recorded by his followers in a book called Lunyu.
Confucius’ teachings formed the base of Chinese thought. Confucius thought everyone should develop virtues（美德）and always do the right thing. Confucius' thought is considered to have been the necessity of Eastern thought.
To help people understand how to behave towards others, he taught five virtues accepted by all Chinese. They are ren (kindness, charity), yi (fairness), li (ceremony, tradition), zhi (knowledge), and xin (trust). Another virtue is xiao. Xiao is the duties a person has towards their parents. It means loving, respecting and looking after one’s parents in their old age. Xiao forms the base of a peaceful society. And “he” is the final goal according to his thought. It means peace between people in society.
Here’s one of Confucius’ famous sayings, “Do not do to others as you do not wish to be done to you.” Another saying of his is “In the company off two others, I can always find one worthy of being my teacher.”
It is clear that Confucius’ thought will continue to be a necessary part of Chinese culture. And it will continue to be of great use for the future of China.

Since there is a big difference between Chinese and English writing systems (系统), laser typesetting for the Chinese language was a serious problem for scientists all over the world.

He was not afraid to try new technology, and although he didn’t have success all the time, he never gave up. He is believed to be the second most important developer in printing Chinese after Bi Sheng. Now, Wang Xuan’s amazing invention is used all over the world, and it has been especially helpful to the Chinese newspaper publishing industry.
