Why is March 5th Lei Feng Day?

In order to carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng and promote the whole society to form a good atmosphere of respecting the elderly, loving the young and helping others.

March 5th is Lei Feng Day, because Lei Feng is a famous proletarian fighter, and he is famous for his selfless dedication. His deeds and spirit have been widely praised and studied, and he has become a moral model and learning model for China society. In order to carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng and promote the whole society to form a good atmosphere of respecting the elderly, loving the young and helping others, the China Municipal Government has designated March 5th every year as the Remembrance Day for Learning from Lei Feng.

Sting is also an important node in the 24 solar terms, marking the beginning of mid-spring when the weather gets warmer and everything wakes up. In folk culture, fright also has important symbolic significance and is considered as a moment full of vitality and vigor. Carrying out the activity of learning from Lei Feng on the day of fright also means that people should care for others, serve the society and transmit positive energy with their own actions like Lei Feng in the new year.
