Lei Feng was born in a poor peasant's family in Jianjiatang Village, Wangcheng County, Hunan Province on December 18th, 194. (See the picture below)
Unforgettable scar
Lei Feng became an orphan when he was less than seven years old. Our sixth uncle and grandmother adopted him. In order to help his sixth uncle's grandmother's family, he often went to the mountains to cut firewood. However, the local firewood mountains were occupied by rich families and the poor were not allowed to cut them. One day, Lei Feng went to the snake mountain to cut wood, and was seen by the Xu landlady. The landlady swore at Lei Feng and took the firewood knife. Lei Feng cried for the firewood knife back, but the landlady raised the knife and cut it three times on the back of Lei Feng's left hand, and blood dripped on the mountain road along her fingers ...
In August 1949, the China People's Liberation Army passed by Lei Feng's hometown. When Lei Feng saw the camping team settle down, he asked his fellow villagers for help, such as carrying water and sweeping the floor. He paid for firewood and food at a fixed price, and he had a desire to join the army from the bottom of his heart without taking the needle and thread from the masses. Lei Feng found the company commander of the army and was determined to be a soldier. When the company commander learned of his suffering, he told him that he was still young and could not be a soldier until he grew up, and gave him a pen to encourage him to study hard and defend and build China when he grew up.
Determined to join the army and join the Children's League
In 195, the farmers' association was established in the village, and land reform was carried out. Lei Feng actively participated in this movement, became the head of the children's group, stood guard, patrolled, and prevented the enemy from destroying it. He also learned to say Allegro and engage in propaganda.
In the summer of 195, the township government sent orphan Lei Feng to study for free. In the summer of 1956, he graduated from Heyeba Primary School. In a few years, Lei Feng overcame difficulties and studied hard, which was highly praised by teachers and students. He helped backward students, cared for collective food, and fought against bad elements, which was highly praised by school teachers, classmates and villagers. At the graduation ceremony, he took the stage to speak and resolutely asked to stay in the countryside and contribute his meager strength to building a new socialist countryside.
In September 1956, Lei Feng worked as a correspondent in the township government. In November, Lei Feng, who reached the age of 16, was recommended to be a civil servant in Wangcheng County Committee. In 1957, Lei Feng was gloriously named as a model worker in government organs.
In the spring of 1958, Lei Feng came to Kunshanhu Farm and became a tractor driver. In September 1958, Lei Feng came to Angang to work as a C-8 bulldozer. In August 1959, Lei Feng came to Gongchangling Coking Plant to participate in the infrastructure construction. One day in the summer of the following year, he led his partners to fight in the rain and saved 7,2 bags of cement from loss. < < Liaoyang Daily > > This paper reported Lei Feng's rescue of cement and praised his deeds of sacrificing himself for others. Lei Feng worked in Anshan and Coking Plant for one year and two months. He was rated as an advanced worker three times, a pacesetter five times and a red flag bearer eighteen times, and was awarded the title of "Young Socialist Construction Activist".
joining the army
At the beginning of December 1959, the new year's conscription work had begun, and Lei Feng urgently requested to join the China People's Liberation Army. However, due to the limited number of conscription places in the coking plant and Lei Feng's outstanding performance on the construction site, the leaders were reluctant to let him go, so they refused to sign up. This really worried Lei Feng. He ran dozens of miles and came to the People's Armed Forces Department of Liaoyang City to talk about his experience to Yu Zhengwei, indicating his willingness and determination to join the army.
Yu Political Commissar of the Armed Forces Department and the leader sent by the engineering corps specially studied Lei Feng's enlistment. He thought that he was born as a bitter child, and after practical work, his political quality was good and his motivation for enlistment was clear. Although he was 1.54 meters tall and weighed less than 55 kilograms, his physical condition was poor, but he drove a tractor on the farm and a bulldozer in the factory, and he was repeatedly rated as an activist and advanced worker in socialist construction. I believe that his enlistment will grow faster.
On January 8th, 196, Lei Feng received the notice of enlistment and went to Yingkou City with the recruits from Liaoyang. As a representative of the new recruits, he spoke at the meeting to welcome his comrades into the army.
Lei Feng's regiment is an army with a glorious war history. He is determined to carry forward the fine tradition with practical actions. At dinner, he actively reads newspapers to everyone and publicizes the party's policies: during the break, he teaches everyone to sing, and Lei Feng feels the warmth without it in this big family. Because of his small arms and weak strength, he failed to practice throwing grenades when he started, so he went out to practice before dawn. Ten days later, like other comrades, he finally went out to practice.
Later
After the training of new recruits, Lei Feng was assigned to the transportation company as an automobile soldier. "I will go to Zhang Side to meet the needs of the revolution and the revolution needs me to burn charcoal; The revolution needs me to plug the loophole, so I will be Huang Jiguang ".This is Lei Feng's attitude to the organization.
Lei Feng is cheerful and active at ordinary times. He can teach singing, run a wall newspaper and say Allegro. When the superior leader arranged for him to join the warrior performance team, he recited his lines from morning till night. Later, considering that Lei Feng's Hunan accent was not harmonious with everyone's Mandarin, which affected the performance effect, he offered to change himself. Although everyone didn't see Lei Feng's performance, every program on the stage contained Lei Feng's hard work and his spirit of caring for the collective everywhere and obeying the needs of work.
After Lei Feng returned to the transportation company, he devoted himself to the intense study of driving skills. In view of the lack of coaches, he led everyone to make a car driving platform. Lei Feng studied technology sleepless nights and was unanimously elected as the leader of the technical learning group. In May, Lei Feng became a qualified driver, and was assigned to Class 4, Row 2, and handed over to a No.13 car for the construction site.
Nail spirit
In the construction task, he drove the car around all day, and it was difficult to find time to study. Lei Feng put the book in his satchel and took it with him. As long as the car stopped and there was no other work, he sat in the cab and read. He wrote a passage in his diary: "Some people say that they are busy at work and have no time to study. I think the problem is not that they are busy at work, but whether you are willing to study and whether you will squeeze time. There is time to study. The question is whether we are good at squeezing and willing to drill. A good board, there is no eye on it, but why can the nail be nailed in? This is forced by pressure. From this point of view, nails have two advantages: one is squeezing strength and the other is drilling strength. We should also advocate this "nail" spirit in our study and be good at squeezing and drilling.
a voluntary labor
On a Sunday in the early summer of 196, Lei Feng had a terrible stomachache. He came to the regimental health company and prescribed some medicine. He saw that a construction site was in full swing. Originally, it was to build a building for Benxi Road Primary School. Lei Feng couldn't help but push a car and join the ranks of transporting bricks until noon. Lei Feng was surrounded by a group of workers and said to everyone, "" "This afternoon, I learned about Lei Feng's name and the thank-you letter sent by the Second Construction Company of the city where the troops were stationed. Only then did everyone know that Lei Feng, who was ill, had done a good thing and had a special Sunday.
Dear "Fool"
In August 196, the resident Fushun was flooded, and the transportation was connected to the flood fighting and emergency rescue order. Lei Feng endured the pain of his burned hand who had just participated in the fire fighting and fought with his comrades in Shangsi Reservoir Dam for seven days and seven nights, and was awarded a second-class merit.
wanghua district held a mobilization meeting for mass production, which was very loud. Lei Feng happened to see this scene when he went to the streets to do business. He took out the 2 yuan money (23 yuan in the passbook) saved in factories and troops and ran to the office of the Party Committee of wanghua district to donate it to make some contributions to the construction of the motherland. The comrades who took care of him could not refuse his kindness, so he had to accept half of it. In addition, 1 yuan donated it to the people of Liaoyang when Liaoyang suffered the worst flood in a century. In the case of serious natural disasters in our country, he donated all his savings for national construction and disaster areas, but he was reluctant to drink a bottle of soda.
After joining the Party
League, the Party Committee established Lei Feng as a hard-working and thrifty pacesetter, Lei Feng became more strict with himself. He was born in poverty, had a clear love and hate, was eager to learn and make progress, had a high class consciousness, and had the right motivation to join the Party. According to his consistent performance, the branch meeting unanimously approved Lei Feng's application for joining the Party.
On November 8th, 196, Lei Feng gloriously joined the China * * * Production Party.
at the end of 196, Lei Feng's deeds were described as <: < Bitter children and good soldiers > > After the topic was published in newspapers and periodicals, it aroused strong repercussions, and more and more units invited him to give a report. With a bloody family history, he told people not to forget the past and encouraged people to unite and overcome difficulties more firmly in building the motherland. At the request of the broad masses of the people, an exhibition room was set up for Lei Feng's deeds in Lianyi, and the China People's Revolutionary Military Museum also came to collect Lei Feng's deeds ...
Unity and Friendship
Lei Feng took out his books for everyone to learn, and was called "Little Lei Feng Library" by people. He helped his comrades to learn knowledge, and Qiao Anshan, a classmate, had a low education level, so Lei Feng taught him to read and learn arithmetic by hand. When Lei Feng knew that his classmate Xiao Zhou's father was seriously ill, he wrote a letter to his family in the name of Xiao Zhou and sent money to 1 yuan. Comrade-in-arms Xiao Han burned several holes in his cotton trousers when he was out of the car at night. When Lei Feng came back from duty and found out, he took off his hat and patched his trousers for Xiao Han one by one, and gently covered him. Qiao Anshan, who knows this situation, said: "Lei Feng didn't sleep for half a night in order to mend your pants!"
People's orderly
Since 1961, Lei Feng has often been invited to give lectures in other places. As he has more business trips, he has more opportunities to serve the people. There is a saying that "Lei Feng travels a thousand miles on business, but a good deed makes a train".
When Lei Feng went out to change trains at Shenyang Station, a crowd of people gathered around the ticket gate to see a middle-aged woman with a child on her back. I lost my ticket and money. Lei Feng used his allowance to buy a train ticket to Jilin and put it in the hands of her sister-in-law. She said with tears in her eyes, "What's your name, big brother, and which unit are you from?" "Lei Feng said," My name is the People's Liberation Army, and I live in China. "
One day in May, Lei Feng was going to Shenyang in the rain. In order to catch the early train, he got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, took some steamed buns and put on his raincoat. On the way, he saw a woman carrying a child and leading a little girl to the station with difficulty. Lei Feng took off his raincoat and put it on his sister-in-law. He picked up the little girl and accompanied them to the station. After getting on the bus, Lei Feng saw the little girl tremble with cold, and took off his close-fitting sweater and put it on her. Lei Feng estimated that she didn't eat in the morning, so she gave them the steamed bread she brought. The train arrived in Shenyang, it was still raining, and Lei Feng kept sending them home. The woman said gratefully, "Comrade, how can I thank you?" "During the Chinese New Year, comrades happily get together to engage in various recreational activities. Lei Feng and everyone played table tennis in the club for a while, thinking that during the Chinese New Year, the service and transportation departments are the busiest time, and how these places need help. He put down his racket, called several comrades in his class, and went straight to the nearby Piaoertun station after asking for leave together. This helped clean the waiting room, and that poured water for the passengers. Lei Feng brought the whole class into action.
Lei Feng just chose to do good deeds for the people endlessly and wholeheartedly. No wonder people think of Lei Feng when they see people who do good deeds for the people.
Children's bosom friends
After October 196. Lei Feng has successively served as an off-campus counselor at Jianshe Street Primary School (now Lei Feng Primary School) in Fushun City and Benxi Road Primary School.
Lei Feng is very busy with his work and study at ordinary times, so he can only take time off from school to talk with teachers and classmates during his lunch break or when he can't drive in stormy days, or conduct other counseling activities. He is good at uniting children and inspiring them to study hard and make progress every day.
With a high sense of mission and responsibility, Lei Feng works hard to train the next generation to grow sturdily. * * * In recognition of Lei Feng's deeds, the Fushun Municipal Committee of the Youth League awarded a certificate on May 28th, 1962, which read: "Award to Comrade Lei Feng, an excellent counselor, keep up the glory and move on".
Model monitor
In September 1961, the whole regiment unanimously elected Lei Feng as the representative of Fushun Municipal People's Congress.
After attending the People's Congress, Lei Feng returned to Lianyi and became the monitor of Class 4 in Row 2. Under his leadership, Class 4 became the "Four Good Classes" and Lei Feng became the four good monitor of the whole company.
One evening, it was raining heavily. Lei Feng saw a woman on the highway holding a child in her arms, holding the child in her hand and carrying a burden. Lei Feng hurried forward to inquire, only to know that the eldest sister-in-law had returned from visiting relatives in other places and was going to Zhangzigou, more than ten miles away. She said anxiously, "Comrade, the rain has confused me today, and there are children." Lei Feng put a raincoat on his eldest sister-in-law, picked up the older child and walked towards Zhangzigou in the rain, preferring to get soaked by himself and walk for more than two hours before sending their mother and son home.
Modesty
Since joining the army, Lei Feng has won many awards for his meritorious service. He was elected as a representative of the Municipal People's Congress and attended the first meeting of the Youth League in shenyang military area command. His photos, diaries and exemplary deeds were widely publicized through newspapers and radio stations. Lei Feng received letters of enthusiastic praise from all over the country one after another. In his diary, he wrote the following sentence: "Everything I have is given by the party, and the glory should be attributed." As for the work I personally do, it is too little. My little contribution is still not enough compared with the requirements and expectations for me ... "
At 8 o'clock in the morning on August 15, 1962, it was raining, and Lei Feng and his assistant Qiao Anshan drove back to the station from the construction site. After they drove into the company's parking lot, they found a lot of mud splashed on the car body, so they ignored the fatigue of long-distance driving and immediately asked Qiao Anshan to start the car to wash the car in the open space. After passing a narrow aisle in front of the barracks, for safety reasons, Lei Feng stood on the edge of the aisle, raising his arm to direct Xiao Qiao to reverse and turn; "Left, left ... down! Down! " Suddenly, the car skidded into the roadside ditch on the left rear wheel, and the car body shook violently, suddenly knocking over a square pole used for drying clothes and quilts. Unfortunately, Lei Feng was hit on the head by the fallen Fang Lin pole, and fell to the ground on the spot and fainted ... < P > Comrades immediately sent him to a nearby hospital on a stretcher for emergency treatment, and heads at all levels immediately rushed to the hospital, and at the same time, medical experts from Shenyang were received to Lei Feng's bed as quickly as possible. Brain dysfunction caused by skull injury, Lei Feng, a good son of working people and an outstanding party member of China * * * production party, was only 22 years old, so he said goodbye to us!
On August 17th, a grand memorial service was held in wanghua district Government Auditorium in Fushun. Nearly 1, people escorted Lei Feng's coffin to the Martyrs Cemetery.
In January 1963, the Ministry of National Defense named Lei Feng's class as "Lei Feng Class", and the Youth League of * * * chased Ren Leifeng as an excellent counselor of the Young Pioneers nationwide. The General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, the Central Committee of the Youth League of * * *, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions and the All-China Women's Federation successively issued them.
