Lei Feng, a well-known name in China, has undergone great changes in social life 50 years later, but the name Lei Feng and its lofty spiritual connotation have always been the strongest voice of the times. Today, 49 years ago, Mao Zedong published the inscription "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng", which set off a vigorous activity of learning from Lei Feng throughout the country. The spread of Lei Feng spirit has greatly changed the social outlook, and education has influenced several generations. Some people will ask what is the standard Lei Feng spirit? It can be said that helping the elderly cross the road, taking the initiative to care for vulnerable groups, helping comrades in trouble, and working conscientiously in ordinary posts can be said to be the spirit of Lei Feng. In my opinion, the spirit of Lei Feng mainly covers these two aspects. First, the spirit of serving the people wholeheartedly; The second is the quality of hard work, simplicity and thrift. Lei Feng is an ordinary PLA soldier. His charm is not only the embodiment of the communist spirit, but also the interpretation of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.
I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s. As long as I can remember, when I was in primary and secondary schools, the school often organized to learn from Uncle Lei Feng and do good deeds. I remember when I was in primary school, the school organized us to watch the movie Lei Feng, and the story in the movie is still fresh in my memory. Lei Feng was born in poverty, and the new China gave him a new life, so his gratitude to the new society is like a child thanking his parents for their upbringing.
He sent his usual savings to the families of comrades-in-arms in difficulty and to strangers who suffered from famine; In his spare time, he tutored the children in the school near his residence, helped them study hard, educated them to develop healthy moral quality and set up lofty ideals. Where Lei Feng appears, good things will be done. The film also describes him escorting the elderly in the rain; He used his own money to buy tickets for passengers who lost their tickets; Sewing clothes for comrades late at night. His image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. To this day, those who sacrifice themselves for others are still affectionately called "living Lei Feng". In the activities of learning from Lei Feng, at that time, we would choose to do good deeds in schools, streets and staff canteens, help the canteens wash dishes and clean the tables, and help the streets clean. Help rickshaw pullers push carts on the hillside of the highway; Carry out activities such as "one gang, one red" among classmates. It is this spirit of Lei Feng that makes us know how to care for and help others from an early age. At that time, it was a great honor to do good and help others.
Now that 50 years have passed, Lei Feng's spirit is weakening a little. Children nowadays may not know who Lei Feng is. They won't understand if they say that they are doing good deeds and working hard and plain living. In the era of market economy, learning from Lei Feng seems out of step with the times to some people. However, I believe that the new era should also have a new interpretation of Lei Feng's spirit. We can no longer regard being a voluntary cleaner, helping the elderly cross the street and mending socks for comrades as the embodiment of Lei Feng's spirit, but should give it new connotation, that is, paying attention to the disadvantaged groups and solving practical difficulties for the masses.
Our times need and call for the spirit of Lei Feng. If everyone in our society helps and cares for others selflessly like Lei Feng, as the song Dedication of Love sings, as long as everyone dedicates a little love, our world will become a beautiful world.
