Lei Feng was born in a family of poor peasants in Hunan on December 18, 1940. After the Japanese killed his father, his mother committed suicide as a result of the harassment she received at the hands of the son of her landlord. A sword attack launched upon Lei as a small boy by the wife of a landlord when Lei cut wood on nearby mountains only added to a growing hatred of the landlord class. The Party saved the orphan Lei, fed him and brought him up as a mother would her own child. Then in 1960, at 20, Lei joined the People's Liberation Army, rising through its ranks to become a squad leader and a Party member. Diligent study of the works of Mao taught him how to live a life of extreme frugality, to eschew selfishness and to devote himself body and soul to the revolution and to the people. His greatest desire in life was to be nothing more than "a revolutionary screw that never rusts".
As the "little screw" he wanted to be, Lei performed many good deeds: he sent his meager savings to the parents of a fellow soldier who had been hit by a flood; he served tea and food to officers and recruits; he washed his buddies' feet after a long march, and darned their socks; he went all-out to show his devotion to the revolutionary cause. He did not commit great deeds by which he was remembered, but taught the people how to be happy with what they had, to obey the Party and to let the Central Committee, or better still, Mao himself, do their thinking for them.
On August 15, 1962, the good works ended abruptly, when Lei was hit by a falling wooden pole, accidentally knocked down by a fellow soldier driving a truck.
Lei became a household name and left behind a diary which became an object of national study after March 5, 1963, when Mao called on the nation to learn from the young martyr by penning the inscription "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" and March has since been dedicated to the national "Learning from Lei Feng" campaign. His diary was reprinted for study, photographs of Lei in action all of a sudden turned up, movies were made about his life, stills from these movies were turned into comic strips; posters bearing his image were produced in staggering quantities. It has always been something of a miracle that such an unprepossessing person could have made such an impact, and could have left so many pictures and written materials, even before he died.
As China's most famous symbol of sacrifice for others, he is probably the only ordinary Chinese to be remembered by the whole nation, and his selflessness and devotion have inspired at least three generations of people over the past 40 years. His patriotism, compassion and self-sacrifice have become a part of the moral standards. The term "Lei Feng" has become part of our language. It is a synonym of "serving others", "volunteering", "whole-hearted dedication", "selfless generosity", and the like. Daily expressions such like "He is a Lei Feng", or "He is learning from Lei Feng", can be heard very often.
One slogan adopted at the time was that "the power of a good model is infinite". For most people still, the spirit of Lei Feng is embodied in working hard, helping senior citizens cross roads, and helping parents with daily chores. In the past, they used to believe that learning Lei meant helping senior citizens or children do daily chores, such as repairing bicycles and doing hairdressing for free. But today, they realized that donating body organs and blood, or applying to work in the poverty-stricken western areas are all the good ways to learn Lei Feng Spirit.
Under the centrally planned economy, the interests of the collective were highly valued and individuals were not encouraged to promote their own interests at all. Most Chinese vowed to lead a frugal and meager life just like Lei. Children were told to wear old clothes passed on by their elder brothers and sisters, and it was considered a disgrace to throw something away before it was completely worn out. "To learn from Lei Feng" was at that time an important assignment for schoolchildren, who would, in their spare time, do voluntary work in their neighborhood and at railway stations, helping the elderly clean up houses, bringing a lost child home or carrying luggage for passengers. When asked what they had done, over half of the class would say they had returned wallets they found on the road or helped blind people cross streets!
Though today many younger Chinese may regard him privately as a joke, his earnest, fur-capped image still hangs in lots of school rooms and is periodically dusted off and updated as an evolving model for changing times and new campaigns. The 1960s propaganda icon, hailed as a model of charity and diligence, is now among 100 historical figures to be featured in "Records of the Chinese Heroes", a series of online games being developed by Shanda to inspire patriotism and social consciousness in a "harmonious society".
