Built at the end of the Qing Dynasty and now at the age of 112, the Yunnan Provincial Library is one of the oldest "treasure houses of knowledge" in southwest China. Except for the closed days on Mondays, the reading room and study room here are often difficult to find.
On March 5, 2022, the annual national "Lei Feng Learning Day", the library staff and readers saw many small volunteers wearing school uniforms and "getting together".
Among the children are both old readers of the provincial map and ordinary people who walk into the library for the first time... But being able to get together in the library on weekends is because of the "call of Lei Feng's spirit".
Seeing the banner, the reporter couldn't help but ask one of the children: "How did you think of choosing a library as a place to learn Lei Feng's volunteer service?" ”
A parent who accompanied him said: "Helpfulness is the core of Lei Feng's spirit. There are many ways to help people, there are many old experts in the provincial map, and their inevitable energy is dedicated to their own academic research and practice, and there are many precious historical memories and academic heritage. These first-year children are in puberty, have a strong sense of self, and also have excellent learning ability. This time, the children want to learn lei feng activity volunteer service want to try - the sharing and inheritance of knowledge is also a way to help others. Maybe children will be able to realize this at a young age and practice it. ”
The reporter then followed the children to the "Yunnan Land Cross-border Cultural Exchange Research Center" located on the fourth floor of the provincial map, which is the studio set up by the Yunnan Provincial Library for Mr. Shi Anda, a famous anthropologist, ethnologist and humanistic photographer.
Mr. Shi Anda has been deeply involved in the academic fields of ethnic minority history and culture, long-term economic and social development, cross-border ethnic issues and international relations in Yunnan for half a century, and has made substantial contributions to the economic development of cross-border ethnic minority areas in Yunnan. He went deep into the major cross-border ethnic settlements in Yunnan, collected a large amount of precious first-hand information, provided an important decision-making basis for the local people to develop the economy, the government formulated relevant policies, and extensively carried out international cooperation.
The children in the studio helped to sort out the materials and do the indoor cleaning work, and on the other hand, they were deeply moved by the tortuous, tenacious and persistent academic experience and academic character of this elderly scholar.
They opened the works related to the elderly, saw those shocking pictures and words, and seemed to have traveled to another world that they felt strange to themselves...
Shi Anda, 77, escaped from the hospital's ICU two months ago and now seems to be racing at the same time because he still has too many research expeditions to sort out, write and publish. Time is too precious for him...
"My computer is used for slips, and when I have time, I will help grandpa do the classification and collation of materials!"
"Although I am a Yunnan native, from Grandpa Shi Anda's book, I found that Yunnan not only has good scenery and good products, but also has many magical secrets that I don't know yet... The recorder in my house is very easy to use, and I can help grandpa make oral recordings so that a lot of the content that has not yet been written can be published earlier..."
The children's perception allowed the reporter to see the continuation and development of Lei Feng's spirit today. Compared with fifty years ago, our time and the world we live in today have changed so much, but the universal truth that the benevolent love others, anchor helpers, and help others still stands! For these twelve- and thirteen-year-old children, they can feel the power of knowledge when they are young, and at the same time, they can personally participate in the practice of knowledge mutual assistance, which should be a special and unforgettable "Lei Feng Day" in the process of children's growth!
Who is Lei Feng?
A Communist Party member!
A PLA soldier!
A young man in good age!
A soul that has passed away for half a lifetime, but has lived forever
Miss Lei Feng, learn Lei Feng, become Lei Feng! Let the spirit of Lei Feng pass on the torch and the spirit will always stay!
Thanks kids!
Thanks Lei Feng!
