March 5th, 2023 is the 60th Memorial Day of Lei Feng.
The Memorial Day(纪念日) of Lei Feng is March 5th every year. On March 5, 1963, Chairman Mao Zedong's inscription(题词) "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" was published in the People's Daily for a heroic soldier Lei Feng who died on duty for a certain unit of the Shenyang Army. Since then, activities to learn from Lei Feng have been widely carried out across the country.
Lei Feng was a Chinese People's Liberation Army soldier. Although he was only 22 years old when he died in the line of duty, his life was a life of devoting a limited life to serving the people infinitely. His spirit of voluntary service also influenced all generations of people.
