Zhao Hua is a student from a university. He has led a group of university student volunteers since last year. They help children at a primary school with their studies and daily lives. "When I was a small child, "Zhao said, "I know March 5th was 'Learn from Lei Feng Day', but I didn't know the real meaning of the spirit of Lei Feng. Now when I see the smiling faces of the kids I have helped, I deeply understand Lei Feng. I really like to help others because it makes me happy. "
Lei Feng was born in 1940 in Changsha, Hunan Province. He is one of the best-known soldiers in Chinese history. He lost his parents when he was very young. His neighbors brought him up. Then he did many good deeds(好事) in his life. For example, he gave his own money to other soldiers' parents, and bought a ticket for a woman he didn't know without telling her his name. Unluckily, he died in an accident at the age of 22.
On March 5th, 1963, Chairman Mao called on people to learn from Lei Feng and made the day" Learn from Lei Feng Day".
Almost 50 years has passed since Lei Feng's death. Some people say that the spirit of Lei Feng is out of date. There have been many reports about the coldness of people towards strangers. These have made many Chinese people think deeply about themselves.
Many people think we need to promote(提倡) that spirit again. The important thing is that people must be ready to help others and make it a habit.
