Today is the 5th March again, time flies, I took this photo last year, it means that I’ve blogged nearly one year, my first blog was posted on March 29th 2007.

This is Beijing subway’s ticket, the souvenir tickets published last year on the March 5th, this is a special day for our Chinese. Today is “Learn from Lei Feng Day”.

Who is Lei Feng? Why learn from him? Why is today?

Lei Feng was a soldier of the People’s Liberation Army of the PRC. He is a good man, he likes help people, and he helped a lot of people. But he death when he was very young :(

After his death he was characterized by propaganda as a selfless and modest person who was devoted to Chairman Mao. The campaign, Learn from Comrade Lei Feng, was started by Chairman Mao in March 1963.

Then, every year involves various community and school events where people go to clean up parks, schools, and other community locations. People help others as more as possible today.

Still now, the youth of the country was indoctrinated to follow his example.
