Why March 5th is the Day to Learn from Lei Feng

Because this day is the day when Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for Lei Feng.

On March 5, 1963, Chairman Mao Zedong's inscription "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" for Lei Feng, a heroic soldier who died in the line of duty in a certain unit of the Shenyang army, was published in the People's Daily.

Since then, activities to learn from Lei Feng have been widely carried out across the country.

Lei Feng's life was a life of devoting his limited life to unlimited service to the people.

With the "nail" spirit, he studied Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought assiduously, adhered to the theory and practice, and worked hard to practice, so he had the spirit of selfless dedication to serve the people wholeheartedly.

Because of his enthusiasm in coaching the Young Pioneers, on March 23, 1963, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League decided to posthumously recognize him as the "National Outstanding Young Pioneers Counselor".

Extended information: Lei Feng was the squad leader of a transportation company of a certain engineering corps of the Shenyang Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army during his lifetime. He died in the line of duty on August 15, 1962.

Although he only spent 22 short years, his lofty spirit shining with the glory of communist thought will remain in the world forever.

His lofty spirit of being clear about love and hate, consistent in words and deeds, forgetting self-interest, working hard, helping others, and devoting his limited life to unlimited service to the people embodies the traditional virtues and virtues of the Chinese nation.

Communist moral character.
