1In July, 982, Zhang Hua, a student of the Second Brigade of the Fourth Military Medical University of the People's Liberation Army, gave his precious life to save an old farmer who accidentally fell into the pool and jumped into the septic tank.

Just as the story of Zhang Hua's saving lives was widely circulated, and Zhang Hua himself was awarded the title of martyr and became an example for college students all over the country, a debate around Zhang Hua was launched among college students all over the country.

Although most people affirmed Zhang Hua's action, thinking that it was the concrete embodiment and development of Lei Feng's spirit in the new era, because the popular concept in the early 1980s emphasized the realization of personal value, quite a few people thought that Zhang Hua's motivation to save people was understandable, but the result was "uneconomical". Spending money on a college student is not only a loss for the country, but also a value for a college student. This view was severely criticized at that time and was soon at the forefront of this debate.
