I hope you study hard and become a person like Uncle Lei Feng when you grow up... "In the study room of a certain brigade of the 79th Group Army in Liaodong, a soldier from the" Lei Feng Class "is writing a letter to students at Beijing Lei Feng Elementary School, filled with encouragement and expectations. March 5th this year is the 63rd Lei Feng Memorial Day. Recently, the "Lei Feng Class" has received many letters from all over the country. Despite the heavy training tasks, the soldiers have tried their best to use their spare time to reply to every letter writer. By carefully reading each letter, we have gained a deeper understanding of the spirit of Lei Feng. "Mou Zhenhua, the leader of the" Lei Feng Class, "told reporters that the power of role models is infinite. The Lei Feng spirit inspires generations to grow, and further inspires every soldier in the" Lei Feng Class "to cherish and continue their glory. On August 15, 1962, Comrade Lei Feng sacrificed himself in the line of duty. On March 5, 1963, the People's Daily and the People's Liberation Army Daily published Comrade Mao Zedong's handwritten inscription "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng". From then on, the name of an ordinary soldier merged with a noble and great spirit, and the melody of "learning from Lei Feng's good example" continued to be sung throughout the land of China. In the honor room of the unit where the "Lei Feng Class" is located, there is a cabinet specifically for storing letters. The instructor Hou Wei told reporters that over the past 60 years, the "Lei Feng Class" has received more than 470000 letters from all over the country and even overseas. In these letters, some express their insights on learning from Lei Feng's deeds, while others share the joy gained from helping others; Some wrote over 100 pages and were packaged in 6 envelopes, while others had immature handwriting but expressed their desire to be like Uncle Lei Feng... The first letter received by the "Lei Feng Class" was a congratulatory letter sent by "Dong Cunrui Class". In this letter dated January 23, 1963, the "Dong Cunrui Class" congratulates the "Lei Feng Class" on being awarded the title by their superiors and expresses their intention to "always take Comrade Lei Feng as our common learning model". Over the years, these two honor classes have maintained close contact, inheriting the spirit of their predecessors and improving their fighting skills through mutual learning, construction, and comparison, constantly achieving new results in military training and preparation. In 1963, the "Lei Feng Class" received a letter with a red scarf attached. The letter writer invites soldiers from the "Lei Feng Class" to serve as their extracurricular counselors, providing revolutionary traditional education for children. For over 60 years, successive "Lei Feng Class" soldiers have served as off campus counselors for 287 primary and secondary schools, preaching the spirit of Lei Feng to millions of students. A few years ago, a "Letter of Support" from Fengcheng, Liaoning was sent to the "Lei Feng Class". The letter was written by a father: 'My daughter has lost her mother since she was young, and now I am seriously ill. I hope that after I pass away, I can entrust my daughter to you...' This is not only a request, but also a trust. The soldiers of the "Lei Feng Class" decided to do their utmost to help this girl. Since then, the girl Xiaoyan has become the concern of all the soldiers in the "Lei Feng Class". In addition to supporting tuition and living expenses, the soldiers also tried their best to help Xiaoyan grow up healthily. Not long ago, Mou Zhenhua and the soldiers in the class visited Xiaoyan together and sent her study and daily necessities. Looking at the soldiers who consider themselves as family, Xiaoyan said, "When I grow up, I will be like uncles, guarding more people in need." In the honor room of the unit where the "Lei Feng Class" is located, the reporter took out several letters from the letter display cabinet and saw that the recipient information on the envelopes only wrote the four words "Lei Feng Class Received". Without a detailed address, how were these letters sent to the 'Lei Feng Class'? ”Faced with questions from reporters, Mou Zhenhua explained that many people do not know the specific address of the "Lei Feng Class" and can only write "Lei Feng Class Receipt" on the envelope. Over time, as more and more letters were written, postal workers across the country would actively sort and send them to the "Lei Feng Class" whenever they saw letters with the words "Lei Feng Class Received" written on them. "It is our honor to send letters to the 'Lei Feng Class'." A staff member of the local post office said, "None of the letters written to the' Lei Feng Class' will be lost!" "In order to give full play to the valuable educational role of these letters, we collected all the letters, and selected some of them to be recorded into audio and uploaded to the Internet, so that more people can understand Lei Feng's deeds and feel Lei Feng's spirit. ”Hou Wei told reporters. In recent years, under the guidance of superiors, the unit where the "Lei Feng Class" is located has opened the "Lei Feng Knowledge Cloud Platform" online, keeping up with the times and using new media to spread the Lei Feng spirit. At the same time, they also built an online platform to carry out public welfare activities through online and offline linkage. One day in November last year, the "Lei Feng class" learned that the temperature in Xingyi, Guizhou had dropped sharply, and local children urgently needed warm supplies. That night, Mou Zhenhua gathered all the soldiers in the class to discuss how to help the children stay warm during the winter. Soon, they released a warm proposal on online platforms. Shortly thereafter, the 'Lei Feng Class' received over 200 cotton quilts, more than 1000 cotton jackets, and other supplies. After sorting and organizing, they packed and sent the items to Xingyi Mountain area in Guizhou province. These compassionate materials come from all over the country and are a powerful practice of Lei Feng's spirit by all sectors of society, "said Mou Zhenhua. From letters written on paper and pen, to text messages inputted at the fingertips, to instant interactive WeChat, in recent years, more and more people have contacted the "Lei Feng Class" through different ways - some ask how to support those in need, some talk about their feelings of helping others, and some ask soldiers to help donate materials... "The close connection between the people and the" Lei Feng Class "reflects the brilliant light of Lei Feng spirit and witnesses the inheritance of Lei Feng spirit in the times," Hou Wei said.
