March 5th this year marks the 59th anniversary of Comrade Mao Zedong's inscription "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng". Fifty-nine years have passed, and on the land of China, the lofty spirit of Lei Feng has always been shining, and it has become an indispensable part of our national spirit. Lei Feng is full of spirit!
Over the years, the spirit of Lei Feng has always inspired us to move forward and has always been our pursuit of moral realm. However, some people think that Lei Feng's idea of being a "screw" all his life is not in harmony with the concept of today's society; The perfect ideal state of "no self-interest" may not be suitable for the requirements of developing market economy. Therefore, for some time, whether Lei Feng's spirit is out of date or not, and whether it is necessary to learn from Lei Feng's voice of engaging in market economy has been heard from time to time. This is obviously a misunderstanding. Whether carrying forward the spirit of Lei Feng is still the need of the times, and whether Lei Feng is still our common example, the answer is of course yes.
The establishment and development of the socialist market economy today has not only failed to weaken the light of Lei Feng's spirit, but has created a broader new stage. Because the operating principle of the market does not violate the spirit of Lei Feng. Therefore, the role of moral sentiment in reducing transaction costs and improving social benefits cannot be underestimated. Lei Feng spirit and socialist market economy are not exclusive, but also play a more prominent and important role.
Lei Feng's spirit is out of date, or rather, it is not original. The essence of Lei Feng's spirit is love, and mutual help and friendship is the oldest and most beautiful emotion and spirit of human beings. Lei Feng is a person who develops love to a certain extent. Human beings always need and long for love, and love will never go out of date, so the spirit of Lei Feng will certainly never go out of date. Lei Feng has left us, but his spirit of fraternity has not gone, and the spirit of Lei Feng with love as the core will never die.
Secondly, loyalty, fortitude, optimism and dedication ... these norms and standards, which are in the same strain as Lei Feng's spirit, have been endowed with richer connotations in the new era. They will not fall behind because of the changes of the times. On the contrary, in real life, they are more and more precious because of people's indifference and forgetfulness. Lei Feng spirit has become an important cultural symbol of the Chinese national spirit and a very valuable spiritual wealth created by people. Carrying forward the spirit of Lei Feng is not only of eternal significance, but also necessary for strengthening the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, building a harmonious socialist society and building a socialist core value system.
The essence of Lei Feng's spirit is to serve the people wholeheartedly. Lei Feng made selfless contributions to the people's cause and regarded helping others as the greatest happiness and joy in life. This dedication to serving the people and helping others is an important embodiment of the outlook on life of serving the people. In the new era, with the continuous progress of economy and society, people often ignore the spirit of dedication while pursuing material life, and there is too much distrust in interpersonal communication. Carrying forward the spirit of Lei Feng in the new era is conducive to increasing the trust and closeness between people. At the same time, people live in various social relations and need to show their value by serving others. The more modern the society, the stronger the demand for people. No matter in the era of revolutionary war or in the period of peaceful construction, the outlook on life of serving the people has had a wide and far-reaching influence, edifying and infecting generations of revolutionaries and builders, and playing an important role in promoting China's socialist revolution and construction. Only by establishing the outlook on life of serving the people and carrying forward the dedication of serving the people and helping others can people understand the purpose of life more deeply, treat life with a correct attitude and get rid of selfishness, fame and wealth and material desires. At present, in order to create a United and friendly interpersonal relationship, build a harmonious and stable social environment and promote the formation of a good social atmosphere, we must educate and guide people to consciously guide their lives with the outlook on life serving the people, continue to carry forward the dedication of serving the people and helping others, and create life value in the practice of serving the people and contributing to society.
While we were still debating whether Lei Feng was out of date, the spirit of Lei Feng went abroad. It is because of his infinite love and loyalty to the party and the people that he kept his promise, which is the perfect combination of communist morality and traditional virtue. It can be seen that although Lei Feng and his era have gone far away from us, the spirit of Lei Feng still has fresh vitality today!
