Learn lei feng action
• Cheng Baolin
"Learn from Lei Feng's good example, be loyal to the people and be loyal to the party, love and hate clearly do not forget the original, and collectivist ideas shine..." This is a song I often heard from the village loudspeaker when I was a child, and it is also a song that I often sang at various school rallies after school.
Lei Feng
Lei Feng's life was less than 22 years old, but it became an eternity in people's hearts; although his height was only 1 meter 54, it was the moral peak in people's hearts. He wrote a brilliant chapter of his life with his short life, erected an immortal moral monument, and inspired and inspired generations of Chinese.
"Lei Feng's Diary", the inscriptions of state leaders for Lei Feng, and the various songs that sang Lei Feng, etc., I was familiar with them when I was in elementary school, and I heard them and recited them, "Learning from Lei Feng and doing good deeds" has become a human life concept.
Learn from Comrade Lei Feng
I remember the first essay I learned to write, "An Unforgettable Thing", which was about how to help others with Lei Feng's example, and the teacher drew "red line" under some sentences of that composition, and commented in the class that I wrote a good composition. The first essay can get praise and encouragement from the teacher, which not only stimulates my interest in composition, but also strengthens my confidence in learning Lei Feng to do good deeds. From elementary school to high school, I can always be the class president, not because of how good my academic performance is, but more because in the eyes of teachers and classmates, I am a Lei Feng activist who is good at uniting classmates, helping classmates, respecting teachers, caring about the collective, and helping others.
Lei Feng's diary
Lei Feng has long become my idol, and the Lei Feng complex has been buried deep in my heart. Because Lei Feng appeared as a soldier, and there are the most Lei Feng-style models emerging in the ranks of the People's Liberation Army, in my subconscious, soldiers should take the lead in learning Lei Feng, and should learn better than others.
From the first day I entered the barracks, I was determined to learn from Lei Feng and act as an advanced. Although when I first joined the army, the upsurge of learning Lei Feng in society was already "receding", and many people began to ridicule "Lei Feng has no household registration, March comes to April", but the atmosphere of learning Lei Feng in the army has always been very strong. In the recruit company, I was the one who helped my comrades-in-arms wash the most clothes, plowing snow, doing sanitation, helping cooks, etc., always rushing ahead and doing the work first, and always striving to be advanced in study and training. In the month when I arrived at the company, the comrades-in-arms soaked in the clothes in the sink, as long as I found it, they would take the initiative to wash out and dry it; when the company arranged for hygiene the next morning, I would often get up quietly more than half an hour in advance to sweep the yard; one night before going to bed, I saw that it was snowing, so I found the broom to put it away, and the next morning I got up an hour early and cleaned the snow on the company's road to the camp headquarters of more than 500 meters... For this reason, in the eyes of the company leaders and all the veterans, I became the "most diligent recruit".

After coming to the training team, while continuing to maintain the same kind of work passion as after the new company and the next company, I thought that learning from Lei Feng should not only be satisfied with learning within the barracks, but should also go out of the barracks to study, expand the influence of our soldiers, and blow in some "warm" spring breezes for the "dull air" that has first appeared in society in learning from Lei Feng. To this end, after consulting with my comrades-in-arms Wang Zhifang, Qiao Xinying, and Zhai Yuliang, I went out together on a Sunday afternoon to find a "target." When we stumbled to a place called "Liupu Kang", the smell of bread came to our noses, and there was a bread factory not far away (I can't remember the specific name). After we walked through the factory door, an old man in the communication room came out and asked who we were looking for. We told him to see what we needed to do in the factory. After the uncle understood our intentions, he found the factory director. The director of the factory warmly shook hands with us, and then said to us: "The glass window on the roof of our workshop is particularly dirty, which affects the lighting in the house. We replied, "No problem!" After that, the director of the factory and the uncle of the communication room found two buckets and a few rags. The 4 of us carried the water and climbed up to a roof about eleven or twelve meters high on a ladder made of steel pipes. It was a tile-style roof, and in the middle of the roof was a glass skylight about 1 meter high, which had obviously not been wiped for a long time, and the glass was covered with thick greasy dust, and there was no way to see the situation inside the workshop. When I polished a skylight, I saw the sunlight shining through the glass into the workshop, only to see that there was a tens of meters long operation platform on the floor of the workshop, and dozens of male and female workers were hand-packing bread. Perhaps it was found that the workshop suddenly brightened, and one by one they raised their heads to look at the roof, and as the glass was polished, the workshop became brighter and brighter. At this time, they should have seen the identity of the glass wiper through the bright skylight, and they gave us a thumbs up. After more than an hour, more than a dozen skylights had been wiped down. The factory director was very excited, looking at our sweaty faces, he handed us a white porcelain bowl containing "cool white opening" to us who had returned to the ground, and said to us: "To learn from Lei Feng, we still have to look at the People's Liberation Army. Our society can't lose the spirit of Lei Feng! "We deeply feel that what the factory director said is very reasonable. When we finished drinking the water, the director insisted on inviting us to visit the workshop. With great hospitality, we walked into the workshop. The workshop space is very large, when we walked into the workshop, all the workers inside stopped their work and applauded us, which made us very excited. The director accompanied us on a tour of the bread making workshop and introduced us to the production process. When we were about to leave the workshop, the director of the factory refused to let us taste the newly made bread, and we refused...
Learn from Lei Feng's good example
After returning to the training team, none of us said anything. We feel that learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds is the duty of a soldier, not for the sake of charting and promoting. A month later, we went to the food factory again and helped clean up the garbage in the corner of the factory.
In fact, in that era, the vast majority of soldiers had Lei Feng in their hearts. The same is true of captain Guo Zhifu, who has repeatedly called on us to be good soldiers like Lei Feng, and for this reason, he has organized us to carry out three "Lei Feng learning activities".
One was to plant rice seedlings on a troop farm called "Sand Battalion". The farm that I remember is very large, and in addition to the rice fields, there are many kinds of vegetables and soybeans. There are "ridges and ditches" in all directions in the farmland, and the farmland is surrounded by willow and poplar trees of varying heights, some more than ten meters high and some two or three meters high. There is a row of bungalows in the farm headquarters with about a dozen or so. The yard was piled with straw. Directly in front of the yard is a vegetable patch with eggplants, cucumbers and peppers.
The female soldiers of that year took a group photo on the farm
When planting rice seedlings, the comrades-in-arms pulled up their trouser legs and stood in a horizontal row in the water barefoot, holding a handful of rice seedlings in one hand, and pinching three or four sticks in the other hand at a time, and inserting them into the mud under the water at the lower waist, and basically inserting them into the "horizontal and vertical". At the beginning of the period, everyone felt very fresh, and the dry was also very happy, but after all, it was the first time to dry, and it was necessary to bend over, and after a while, some people felt back pain, and the number of straight waists became more and more frequent. Coupled with the fiery sunlight shining on the body, the clothes on the body were all soaked in the short time, and with the deep bow of the waist, the beads of sweat on the head fell into the water in front of them.
Locusts
When everyone came out of the water during the break, many people looked at their feet and shouted "Mother, mother" and shouted. It turned out that there were brown bugs that were much longer than tadpoles on the surface of the feet, some of which had one foot, and some of which had both feet, and could not be dragged out by hand. I am all too familiar with this insect and have been adsorbed by it many times in the past. Called the locust (scientific name leech) in his hometown, he is a typical vampire, with the most in the rice fields. When it is just adsorbed on the surface of the foot, people just feel itchy, and when it is fully adsorbed, there will be blood flowing out, if you want to pull it out, the easiest way is to slap it with the sole of the shoe, but after it is photographed, the part of your foot surface is already bloody. At that time, I also had one on my left foot, so I slapped it hard with the sole of my rubber shoe and pulled it out. Other comrades-in-arms also followed my example and photographed the vampires on their feet one by one. When the rice field was planted again, some of the comrades-in-arms put on their socks, and some of them immediately lifted them out of the water as long as they felt a little itchy, to see if there were any locusts adsorbed on the feet, and if there was a time when they were not yet adsorbed, they quickly dragged it down.
On another occasion, we went to a Hui village in Changying Township, Chaoyang District, to carry out "activities to help the people", and also to plant rice seedlings. This village is the 12th company under the jurisdiction of the three battalions (Captain Guo is the deputy instructor of this company), and the two sides are the "advanced units for military-civilian joint construction" in Beijing. I remember that the village party secretary at that time was a female comrade of forty or fifty years old, not tall but not light in "tonnage", speaking in an authentic Beijing accent and a very loud voice, a look is the kind of woman who can make the villagers feel afraid, but I heard that her work ability is indeed very strong, and the villagers are very supportive of her. Later, after I was transferred to work in the organs, I repeatedly collected and wrote about the deeds of this company's double support and joint construction, and a news photo was also published in a prominent position on the first page of the "People's Liberation Army Daily."
Learn from Lei Feng to see action
The third time was when he heard that the battalion planned to change the soil pavement yard of the camp to a concrete pavement, Captain Guo took the initiative to ask the battalion leaders to win this task. Because of the main class time to complete the learning task, we basically use the morning, middle and evening spare time to do it. The training team first divides the work into classes, and then the class divides the work to people. When the construction begins, we are first "taught on site" by veterans who understand this technology, and then we are divided into practical operations according to the task.
Before laying the cement, the ground is swept flat with a shovel, and then the ground is wet. When laying cement, strictly according to the prescribed thickness. After the cement is laid, first beat the wet cement surface with a "mud trowel" for a while, one is to shoot the cement "thick", the other is to shoot the "pulp", and finally the cement surface is smoothed. In order to prevent the cement from "drying" too quickly due to excessively high temperatures, after the cement solidifies for an hour, some water must be evenly sprinkled on the cement surface, and then covered with a layer of plastic sheeting to prevent cracks in the cement surface caused by sun exposure. After a few hours, sprinkle water again until the cement has completely solidified and no cracks appear. Since there are people walking through the courtyard every day, we can't lay it all at once, and we have to wait for the cement surface that was previously laid to leave before laying other parts...
A week later, the "project" was finally "completed." Walking on the cement pavement laid by our own hands, we all have a great sense of accomplishment, and we are also proud to leave the most "down-to-earth" memorial in this camp.
Looking back at that era, I still feel touched by our learning Lei Feng action during the training team. At that time, although the social school lei feng activities were "at low tide," in our people's army, the lei feng learning activities were always "in progress." Lei Feng's good thinking and good work style have been infecting and educating our revolutionary soldiers from generation to generation.
Lei Feng, our comrade-in-arms
People who know me say that I have a "warm heart" and am a "helpful" person, which in addition to the inheritance of my parents, the cultivation of Lei Feng's spirit should be an important reason. At present, a considerable number of people are nostalgic for the sixties and seventies of our country, and I think what people miss is not the poverty of that era (the country and society are gradually developing, and prosperity cannot be achieved "overnight", there must be a process of struggle), but nostalgic for the positive, arduous struggle, mutual help and mutual assistance, public and selfless, love of the party and the country, and other good social moral trends brought to the whole society by vigorously carrying out the activities of learning from Lei Feng. Now our country is richer and stronger, but is the strength of the human heart higher than in the sixties and seventies? In addition to the thick material foundation of the human heart, the "thickness" of the spirit is also crucial. And the "thickness" of this spirit must come from the inspiration of the advanced and noble spirit. As the noblest spirit in human civilization, the spirit of Lei Feng will never become obsolete, our country has needed in the past, needs now, and will also need in the future...
The spirit of Lei Feng lives on
"Lei Feng, our comrades-in-arms, our dear brothers, Lei Feng, our role model, our youth pacesetters, learn from Lei Feng, love and hate are the clearest, learn from Lei Feng, and take the firmest stand... May the songs of Lei Feng always echo in our military camp and re-echo in the land of the motherland!
