Grandpa Lei Xinting has planted 10 mu of land by the landlord, the fourth son of Tang Dynasty, for many years, and barely maintained a half-full life. Under the exploitation of high land rent, usury and exorbitant taxes, Lei Xinting got a heavy glass in the winter when Lei Feng was 3 years old. The landlord Tang Sigong forced Lei Xinting to pay off the rent before the end of the year, and Lei Xinting died sadly.

My father, Lei Mingliang, took part in the Hunan peasant movement led by Chairman Mao and served as the self-defense captain. 1938, the arrested husband was beaten by the Kuomintang, causing internal injuries and disability. He returned to his hometown to recuperate and make a living by farming. 1944 was beaten by the Japanese aggressors, and the injury was more serious. He finally died the following autumn.

Mother Huang was born in a blacksmith's family and was sent to Lei's home as a child bride in her teens. After marriage, I tried to manage my family life. After father, husband, eldest son and youngest son died one after another, life became more and more difficult. After being humiliated and persecuted by the landlord, I hanged myself on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1947.

My brother Lei went out to work as a child laborer at the age of twelve, and suffered from infantile tuberculosis (tuberculosis) under the torture of hard work. One day, he suddenly fainted next to the machine and ran over his arms and fingers. After being expelled, he worked as a child laborer in a printing and dyeing workshop. Because of overwork, lung disease worsened and there was no money for treatment, he died in a few days.

Lei Feng 19401February 18 was born in a poor peasant family in Jianjiatang Village, Wangcheng County, Hunan Province.

Unforgettable scar

Lei Feng became an orphan before he was seven years old. Our sixth uncle and grandmother adopted him In order to help sixth uncle's grandmother's family, he often goes to the mountains to cut wood. However, the local firewood mountains are occupied by rich households and the poor are not allowed to cut them down. One day, Lei Feng went to Sheshan to cut firewood and was seen by Xu Fangdong. The landlady pointed at Lei Feng and scolded him, and took away the firewood knife. Lei Feng cried for the back of the firewood knife, 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. ...

Determined to join the army

1In August, 949, China People's Liberation Army passed by Lei Feng's hometown. When Lei Feng saw that the camping team had settled down, he asked his fellow villagers to help him carry water and sweep the floor. Paying firewood and food at the price instead of taking the needle and thread of the masses, I have a desire to join the army from the bottom of my heart. Lei Feng found the company commander of the army and determined to be a soldier. When the company commander learned what had happened to him, he told him that he was too young to 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.

Join the children's alliance

1950, the farmers' association was established in the village and land reform was carried out. Lei Feng took an active part in this movement, became the leader of the children's group and stood guard. Patrol to prevent the enemy from destroying, and he also learned to say Allegro and do propaganda.

school days

/kloc-in the summer of 0/950, the township government sent the orphan Lei Feng away for free to study. /kloc-in the summer of 0/956, he graduated from heyeba primary school. In recent years, Lei Feng overcame difficulties and studied hard, which was highly praised by teachers and students. He helped underachievers, cared about collective meals and fought against bad elements, and was highly praised by school teachers, classmates and villagers. At the graduation ceremony, he took the stage to speak and insisted on staying in the countryside to contribute his meager strength to building a new socialist countryside.

be on duty

1September, 956, Lei Feng worked as a correspondent in the township government. 1 1 month, Lei Feng, who has reached the age of 16, was recommended to be a civil servant in Wangcheng County Committee. 1957, Lei Feng was gloriously named as a model worker of the government.

1958 In the spring, Lei Feng came to Kunshan Lake Farm and became a tractor driver.

1September, 958, Lei Feng came to Angang to work as a C-80 bulldozer.

1In August, 959, Lei Feng came to Gongchangling Coking Plant to participate in the capital construction. One day in the summer of the following year, he led his partners to fight in the rain and recovered the loss of 7200 bags of cement. Liaoyang Daily reported Lei Feng's story of saving cement and praised his story 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".

Join the people's liberation army

19591In early February, 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 recruitment places in the coking plant and Lei Feng's outstanding performance on the construction site, the leaders refused to let him go, so they refused to sign up. This really worries Lei Feng. He ran dozens of miles to the People's Armed Forces Department of Liaoyang City, told Yu about his experience and showed his willingness and determination to join the army.

Political commissar Yu of the Armed Forces Department and the leaders sent by the Corps of Engineers specialize in Lei Feng's enlistment. He thought he was born as a bitter child, and after practical work, he had good political quality and a clear motive for joining the army. Although he is 1.54 meters tall and weighs less than 55 kilograms, he is in poor health, but he has driven tractors on farms and bulldozers in factories, and has been rated as an activist and advanced worker in socialist construction for many times. I believe he will grow faster after joining the army. Finally decided to approve Lei Feng's enlistment.

1960 1 8, Lei Feng received a notice of enlistment and came to Yingkou with the recruits from Liaoyang. As a representative of the recruits, he spoke at the meeting to welcome his comrades to join 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 read newspapers to everyone and publicized the party's policies: at rest, he taught everyone to sing, and Lei Feng felt the warmth without it in this big family. Because of my small size and weak arm strength, I didn't practice throwing grenades at first. He went out to practice before dawn. 10 days later, like other comrades, he finally learned to shoot with live ammunition.

Catch up from behind

After the training of recruits, Lei Feng was assigned to a transportation company as an automobile soldier. "Obey the needs of the revolution, the revolution needs me to burn charcoal, so I'm going to Zhang there; The revolution needs me to plug the loopholes, so I want to be Huang Jiguang ". This is Lei Feng's attitude to the organization.

Lei Feng is usually cheerful and lively. He teaches singing, runs a wall newspaper and says Allegro can do anything. When the superior 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 and concentrate on logistics for the performance. Although everyone didn't see Lei Feng's performance, every program on the stage contained Lei Feng's efforts.

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 driving platform. Lei Feng studied technology at night and was unanimously elected as the leader of the technology learning group. In May, Lei Feng became a qualified driver, was assigned to Class 4, Row 2, and was handed over to a 13 car for use at the construction site.

Nail spirit-make full use of your time and work tirelessly to achieve your goals.

During the construction task, he drove around all day, so it was difficult to find time to study. Lei Feng put the book in his schoolbag and took it away. As long as the car stops and there is no other work, he sits in the cab and reads. He wrote a passage in his diary: "Some people say that they are busy with work and have no time to study. I think the problem is not that you are busy at work, but that you are willing to study. Learning has time, but 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 under pressure. From this point of view, nails have two advantages: one is compressive strength, and the other is drilling strength. We should also advocate this "nail" spirit in our study and be good at squeezing and drilling.

Voluntary labor

1960 On a Sunday in early summer, Lei Feng had a terrible stomachache. He returned to the regiment health company and prescribed some medicine. He saw a construction site in full swing. It was originally for Gai Lou of Benxi Road Primary School. Lei Feng couldn't help pushing a car and joined the ranks of transporting bricks. Until noon, Lei Feng was surrounded by a group of workers. Facing everyone, he said: "We are all making contributions to socialist construction. Me and him. " This afternoon, I found out the name of Lei Feng and the thank-you letter from the Second Construction Company in the city where the troops were stationed. Only then did I know that the sick Lei Feng did a good thing and had a special Sunday.

Respectable "fool"

1August, 960, Fushun, the resident, was flooded, and the traffic was ordered to fight floods. Lei Feng endured the pain of his burned hand who had just finished putting out the fire, and fought with his comrades in Shangsi Reservoir Dam for seven days and seven nights, winning the second class.

A large-scale production mobilization meeting was held in Wanghua District, with great momentum. Lei Feng went to the streets to see this scene. He took out the 200 yuan money (203 yuan in the passbook) saved in the factory and army, 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 take care of him can't refuse his friendship, so they have to accept half. When Liaoyang suffered the worst flood in a century, it donated 100 yuan to the people of Liaoyang. In the case of serious natural disasters in China, he donated all his savings to national construction and disaster areas, but he was reluctant to drink a bottle of soda.

Unity and friendship

Lei Feng took out his books for everyone to learn, which was called "Little Lei Feng Library". He helped his comrades to learn knowledge, but his classmate Qiao Anshan had a low level of education, so Lei Feng taught him to read and learn arithmetic by hand. When Lei Feng learned that his father was seriously ill, his classmate Zhou Xiao wrote a letter to his family in the name of Zhou Xiao and sent him 65,438 yuan. Han Xiao, a comrade-in-arms, burned several holes in his cotton trousers when driving at night. When Lei Feng came back from duty and found it, he took off his hat, mended his trousers one by one for Han Xiao and gently covered him. Qiao Anshan, who understands this situation, said: "Lei Feng didn't sleep for half a night in order to mend your pants!"

People's orderly

Since 196 1 year, Lei Feng has often been invited to give lectures in other places. The more opportunities he has to travel, the more opportunities he has to serve the people. There is a saying that "Lei Feng travels thousands of miles on business, and good things become trains".

When Lei Feng went out to change trains at Shenyang Station, he found a group of people around the ticket gate, watching a middle-aged woman with a child on her back. It turned out that when the woman went to Jilin from Shandong to see her husband, her ticket and money were lost. Lei Feng used his allowance to buy a train ticket to Jilin and stuffed it into his sister-in-law's hand. Sister-in-law said with tears, "eldest brother, what's your name 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 went 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 a raincoat. On the way, he saw a woman carrying a child and struggling to lead a little girl to the station. 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 shivering with cold, so he took off his 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. When 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 Spring Festival, comrades-in-arms happily get together to engage in various recreational activities. Lei Feng played table tennis with everyone in the club for a while, and he thought about how busy the service and transportation departments are during the Spring Festival, and how much these places need help. He put down his racket, called a few comrades in the class, and went straight to the nearby Park Ertun station after asking for leave together. This one helped clean the waiting room, and that one poured water for the passengers. Lei Feng brought the whole class up.

Lei Feng just chose to do good things for the people endlessly and wholeheartedly. No wonder people think of Lei Feng when they see people who do good things for the people.

Children's bosom friends

1960 10 months later, Lei Feng successively served as the off-campus counselor of Jianshe Street Primary School (now Lei Feng Primary School) in Fushun City and Benxi Road Primary School.

Lei Feng usually works. He is very busy with his studies, so he can only take time off to go to school to talk with his teachers and classmates during his lunch break or when he can't drive on a stormy day, or conduct other counseling activities. He is good at uniting children and encouraging them to study hard and make progress every day.

Lei Feng has a high sense of mission. Sense of responsibility, cultivate the next generation to grow sturdily. * * * In recognition of Lei Feng's deeds, Fushun Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League issued a certificate on May 28th, 1962, which read: "Reward Comrade Lei Feng, excellent counselor, make persistent efforts and continue to advance".

Model monitor

196 1 In September, 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 the fellowship and became the monitor of Class 4, 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 night, it rained heavily. Lei Feng saw a woman on the highway with a child in her arms, a child in her hands and a burden on her body. Lei Feng hurried forward to inquire, only to know that Sister-in-law had come back from visiting relatives in other places and was going to Changzigou, more than ten miles away. She said anxiously, "Comrade, today's rain has confused me. There are children, I can't cry. "

Lei Feng put a raincoat on his eldest sister-in-law, carried the older children on his back, and walked towards Zhangzigou in the rain, preferring to get wet by himself and walk for more than two hours before sending their mother and son home.

humble and cautious

Since joining the army, Lei Feng has won many awards for meritorious service. Photos, diaries and exemplary deeds of his election as a representative of the Municipal People's Congress and his attendance at the first meeting of the shenyang military area command Youth League Committee. Through the newspaper. The radio station carried out extensive publicity, and Lei Feng received warm praise letters from all over the country. He wrote this sentence in his diary: "Everything I have is given by the party, and the honor belongs to the party and the comrades who are enthusiastic about helping me. As for my personal works, there are too few. Compared with the requirements and expectations of me, my little contribution is not enough ... "

Good deeds make a train.

Lei Feng went to Anton on business to participate in the military sports training team of Shenyang Army Corps of Engineers. He traveled a thousand miles on business and did a good job.

As soon as he got on the train from Fushun, he saw that the conductor was very busy and began to work. Wipe the floor, clean the glass, clear the small table, pour water for the passengers, help women hold their children, find seats for the elderly, and pick up passengers with big bags and small bags. After these things were done, he took out the newspaper with him and read it to illiterate passengers to publicize the party's policies. I have been busy until Shenyang.

When changing trains at Shenyang station, he found a large crowd around the ticket gate. When he got closer, it turned out that a middle-aged woman had no ticket and insisted on getting on the bus.

The more people around, the more blocked the road. Lei Feng stepped forward, pulled up his sister-in-law and said:

"How can you get on the bus if you don't have a ticket?"

Sister-in-law explained in a big sweat: "Comrade, it's not that I don't have a ticket. I went to Jilin from my hometown in Shandong to see my husband. I don't know when I lost my ticket and money. "

When Lei Feng heard that what she said was true, he said, "Don't worry, come with me."

He led his eldest sister-in-law to the ticket office, bought a ticket with his pocket money, stuffed it into her hand and said, "Get on the bus quickly, the bus is leaving soon." "Sister-in-law said," Comrade, what's your name and which unit you work in, so that I can send you money. "Lei Feng said with a smile," My name is China People's Liberation Army, and I live in China. "Just turned away. Sister-in-law got into the carriage and waved to him with tears in her eyes.

Lei Feng came back from Anton and changed trains in Shenyang. When he took up his backpack and crossed the underpass, he saw an old woman with white hair, leaning on crutches and carrying a big burden, struggling forward step by step. Lei Feng stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, where are you going?" "

Out of breath, the old man said, "I came from inside Shanhaiguan Pass to Fushun to see my son!" "

As soon as Lei Feng heard that he wanted to go the same way, he immediately took the big bag, put his hand on the old man and said, "Come, aunt, I'll take you to Fushun."

The old man praised him happily, one by one.

When he got into the carriage, he found a seat for his aunt, stood by himself, took out the bread he had just bought and put one in her hand. Aunt pushed it out and said:

"Son, I'm not hungry, you eat!"

"You're welcome, aunt, eat! I am hungry first. "

The intimate title of "child, child" gave Lei Feng a great feeling, and he felt as kind as his mother called him by his nickname. He is beside the old man, chatting with him. The old man said that his son is a worker and has been out for several years. It's her first time here, and she doesn't know where she lives yet. As he spoke, he took out a letter and Lei Feng took it. He didn't know the address on it, but he knew that the old man was anxious to find his son, so he said, "Don't worry, aunt, I'll help you find him."

Lei Feng keeps his promise. When he arrived in Fushun, he shouldered the burden of the old man, helped him, inquired about the east and the west, and searched for more than two hours before finding the old man's son.

These things were later known to comrades. Someone commented:

"Hey, Lei Feng traveled thousands of miles on business, and it was a good thing to take the train!"

Lei Feng didn't take it seriously.

Lei Feng always cares about the masses. One day, he scrubbed the car near the army station. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered and it began to rain. He quickly pulled open the canvas hood, looked up and found a woman on the road with two children, a small one in her arms, a big one in her hand and a burden on her shoulders. "Paji Paji" struggled with the soil in the heavy rain.

Lei Feng jumped out of the car and asked. It turns out that her surname is Ji, a native of Harbin, and she is going to Zhangzigou. She said worriedly, "Brother, I am confused by the rain. Where is the right path? " "

Lei Feng listened. Look at her with such a big bag and two children. It's dark again. It's raining so hard. How do we get there? He said, "Sister-in-law, you wait here ..." He hurried back to the dormitory, took a raincoat and put it on Sister-in-law Ji, took the children to hold for her, and braved the wind and rain to send them home.

Along the way, the child shivered with cold, and Lei Feng took off his clothes and put them on. He walked for nearly two hours before sending them home. Sister Ji said gratefully, "Brother, I will never forget your affection!" "

Lei Feng said, "The army and the people are a family. Why do you say that ..."

The wind is still blowing, the rain is still falling, and it is getting dark. Sister-in-law Ji and her family advised him to stay for the night until it clears up tomorrow. Lei Feng thought: What do you mean windy and rainy? Be sure to get back to the army and start as usual tomorrow! I said goodbye to them, and I came back after running all night in the wind and rain.

Adding bricks for a Sunday made Lei Feng have a stomachache. He lay in bed for a while, trying to get through it, but on second thought, he had to leave the car tomorrow, so the pain could not continue. He got up quickly and ran to the health company.

The doctor on duty asked about his illness, pressed his stomach, gave him some pills, and told him, "Never mind, go back and press your stomach with a hot water bottle and have a good rest, but don't be tired!" "

Lei Feng walked back and passed a construction site. The tense labor scene on the construction site attracted him at once. He said to himself, "Hey, that's amazing. Not long ago, it was a cinder yard, and now it is necessary to build a tall building. " People who work here are sweating and full of energy. Bricklayers and brick bearers started a socialist labor competition, and a shrill girl's voice sounded in the loudspeaker, which made the whole construction site steaming. He was about to leave here when the girl shouted in a shrill voice, "How about ... the bricklayer did his best and punished him at the rate of 1200 yuan per hour, breaking the previous record. Come on, bricklayer! " Lei Feng turned around and saw that two brick bearers had a car, one pulling and the other pushing. Both of them did a good job, but they still could not meet the needs of bricklaying. He forgot his stomachache, ran to the brick factory, picked up a car and began to work. He pushed one car after another and returned with a full load; It is difficult to climb a mountain. Several workers came to help him. A worker asked, "Comrade, who sent you?" "Lei Feng teased him with a smile and said," You called me! ""we? " "Yes, you are working hard for socialism, so you won't let me come? "

Lei Feng thinks it is good to contribute to socialist construction. The more he works, the happier he is. He pushed the cart as fast as he could, pushing more than a dozen cars in one breath. His face was covered with sweat and his clothes were all wet. People on the construction site are very puzzled: "Where did such PLA soldiers come from, so hard!" "Some said: Hey, it's amazing, the comrades of the People's Liberation Army are all right!"

A worker brought a bowl of water and said to Lei Feng, "Comrade, drink a bowl of water and have a rest."

Lei Feng said, "No, thanks." He picked up the bowl, gulped it down, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and pushed the brick away.

The shortage of bricks soon changed. When Lei Feng had just packed a load of bricks, the shrill announcer ran out swinging his braid and asked Lei Feng:

"Hey, comrade, which unit are you from? What's your name? "

"Why do you ask?"

"You gave us great encouragement, and everyone asked to write a manuscript to praise you."

Lei Feng said, "I am free today. It is right to do some work here. There is nothing to boast about. " Say, push the car and go.

The announcer looked at his back and said to himself, "Keep it a secret from me. I have to find out your name! " "

The whole construction site is in full swing, and the more you work, the happier you are. The construction task was overfulfilled in the first half of the year. After work at noon, when Lei Feng picked up his military uniform and prepared to return to the company, suddenly a group of workers gathered around him. This shook his hand and thanked him. A man in a white shirt came forward to hold his hand and said enthusiastically, "We are very encouraged that you come here to work."

Lei Feng said shyly, "What's the matter? Like everyone else, I just did my duty. "

The female announcer asked again, "But after working for so long, I still don't know your name?"

"I should go back ..." Lei Feng began to leave.

The announcer deliberately put a straight face and said, "Comrade, broadcasting your deeds can't just be regarded as praise, it will also promote our future work!"

Lei Feng had to say his name. The announcer threw off his pigtails and ran away with a smile. In a short time, her shrill voice spread all over the site:

"Thanks to the People's Liberation Army, learn from Comrade Lei Feng ..."

A bosom friend with a red scarf

Lei Feng hides two beloved things: a red scarf and a captain's armband. From his hometown to Angang, from Angang to the People's Liberation Army, he always carries these two things with him. There are several primary schools near the station. When going to school and leaving school, the young pioneers met the uncle of the People's Liberation Army and either saluted or said hello. Whenever Lei Feng sees their happy smiling faces, he will think of his childhood and the organization that helped him "make progress every day". 1960- 10 served as an off-campus counselor organized by the Young Pioneers of Jianshe Street Primary School and Benxi Road Primary School in Fushun City. His work task is very tense, but he often uses his lunch break, or when he can't drive in the wind and rain, he runs to school to talk with teachers, counselors and players. On weekdays, he also seized every opportunity to collect stories of revolutionary leaders, revolutionary martyrs and revolutionary heroes from newspapers and periodicals, recorded them in his diary, and told them to children whenever he had time. He loves his children, and the children love him and regard him as their closest friend.

One sunny noon, Lei Feng wore a brand-new military uniform with a bright red scarf floating on his chest and walked to Jianshe Road Primary School. The red scarf sparkled in the sun, which made his face red.

As soon as he stepped into the primary school gate, he was immediately surrounded by a group of children. The children are jumping and cheering like magpies:

"Welcome Uncle Lei Feng."

"Please tell Uncle Lei Feng a story!"

When Lei Feng was with the children, he kept laughing with joy. Today, he just got off the bus and was very tired, but when he thought that the children wanted him to play more, he forgot to rest, put down his work and changed his clothes.

Lei Feng became closer to the children. He found that many children were clever, but they were used to being naughty. They can't restrain themselves, violate discipline and affect their study. So he thinks that as a psychological counselor, he should try his best to lead these children to the right path.

There is a pony in the sixth grade of Jianshe Road Primary School. The child is agile and lively, but he is as naughty as hell. He doesn't listen to lectures all day, and he is too old to wear a red scarf. The squadron members ignored him with anger. When Lei Feng knew this, he persuaded the cadres in the team:

"Pony is your classmate, and everyone has a responsibility to help him. He is not good at his lessons. How can you ignore him if you want to recruit him to join the study group and help him with tutoring? "

The squadron member said, "How can we help him if he doesn't listen to his classmates?"

Lei Feng said, "It doesn't matter. Let's find a way together."

Since then, Lei Feng has been paying attention to getting close to Pony, telling him stories, talking to him and inviting him to play in the dormitory. "

Through the education of Lei Feng and his teacher, with the help of the young pioneers, Pony gradually overcame the shortcomings of playfulness and made progress in his studies. When he first put on a red scarf and saw Lei Feng, he held Lei Feng's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Uncle Lei Feng, I joined the Young Pioneers!" "

Respectable fool

When the weather gets warmer, the company sends out summer clothes. Each person has two sets of single clothes, two sets of shirts and two pairs of rubber shoes. Everyone happily brought clothes to the purser. When it was delivered to Lei Feng, he said, "I just need a military uniform, a shirt and a pair of rubber shoes!" "

The purser asked strangely, "Why is there only one set?" "

He said: "The military uniform I wear can still be patched. I think wearing patched clothes now is tens of millions of times more than I wore when I was a child! " Leave the remaining two sets of clothes to the country! "

Lei Feng loves material things, even if he wastes a little. He nailed a wooden box with nuts, iron wire, toothpaste skin and broken gloves. He called it a treasure chest.

If a screw is missing or a part is broken in the car, he will look for it in the "treasure chest" first, and if he can substitute it, he will substitute it. If the rag is really rotten, he will find out the broken gloves from the "treasure chest" and wash them and change the rag. As for toothpaste skins and wire strips, he accumulated a certain amount and sold them to junk collectors, and all the money was handed over to the public.

Lei Feng lives a simple life and never spends a penny casually. For the monthly allowance given to him by the organization, he left a dime to pay the tour fee, a dime to buy soap, and then took out some money to buy books to expand his "small library", and all the rest were deposited in the bank. The socks he wore were mended layer by layer, and finally, they were completely changed, and he could not bear to lose them. The enamel washbasin and mouthwash cup he used are almost out of enamel, and he is reluctant to buy new ones. Some comrades really don't understand, so they asked him:

Lei Feng, you are alone, with no family and no job. Why do you have to endure so hard? "

Lei Feng said, "Who said I was suffering from myself? Life now is better than what I suffered in the past. "

He said, "Who said I was alone, without a home or a job? There are over 600 million people in our big family. In order to change the poor and white face of the motherland, the CPC Central Committee called on us to make up our minds and work hard. Is this wrong? "

Some comrades said: "The country is so big, there is no shortage of your few dollars!"

Lei Feng said, "Every little makes a mickle! Save 10 cents per person per day. Do you calculate how much money has been saved in the whole country? When you are the head of a country, isn't this gross account enough? "

Someone said, "Lei Feng is a fool and stingy!"

Lei Feng answered those who didn't understand him with his own actions.

It was a beautiful day, and people near the station were beaming, beating gongs and drums to celebrate the establishment of the city people's commune.

He was also very happy. He thought, at this time, what can he do for the commune? Thinking about thinking about it, in order to run to the savings office, I took out all the 200 dollars I had accumulated in factories and troops in the past two years, ran to the office of the Party Committee of the People's Commune for Peace in Wanghua District like a gust of wind, put the money on the table and said:

"I have been looking forward to this day! This is a little gift from me to Wanghua District People's Commune, please accept it! " The comrades in the Party Committee Office were very moved and said, "Comrades! We accept your gifts and money. We can't accept it. You can keep it for your own use or send it home. "

Lei Feng said, "The people's commune is my home. My money is for my family. " He added: "I was born in bitterness and grew up in sweetness. Without a strong self, there is no self. The party and the people have given me everything, and I will give everything to the people and the party. This money was given to me by the party and the people. Now let it play a role in the cause of the people. "

Lei Feng begged, but the commune still refused to accept it. It was not until he cried that the comrades in the commune agreed to accept half of it. This incident greatly inspired all commune members. They said, "We will run the people's commune well and thank the People's Liberation Army ..."

1960 at the end of summer, this newspaper released a message: Liaoyang area suffered a once-in-a-century catastrophic disaster.

I have endless affection for Liaoyang and Lei Feng! He joined the army there and lived and worked there. He immediately missed his friends there and the villagers there ... After reading the newspaper, he sighed with anxiety.

When he saw in the newspaper that the CPC Central Committee sent planes to send food and clothes to the people in the disaster area, he thought to himself, "The CPC Central Committee cares so much about the people in the disaster area. What can I do for the people in the disaster area at this moment? ..... "He thought of the 100 yuan returned to him by the commune and quickly wrote a letter of condolence. Facing the heavy rain, he immediately ran to the post office and sent this 100 yuan and this letter to Liaoyang.

He wrote in his diary: "Some people say that I am a fool, which is wrong. I want to be a person who is beneficial to the people and the country. If this is a fool, then I am willing to be such a fool. The revolution needs such a fool, and construction needs such a fool. "
