When talking about "good people", who first comes to your (思想)? Many Chinese might think of Lei Feng. In China, the young soldier is a symbol of the giving （精神）. People who act selflessly are sometimes referred to as "living Lei Feng".

    Born to a rural family in Hunan in 1940, Lei grew up poor. He became a soldier in 1960. But just two years later, the young man died after being hit on the head by a falling pole（杆子）.

    （在期间）his short life, he did not fight in any wars, nor did he achieve any world-changing accomplishments（成就）. But he has been remembered as a（全国的）hero.

    Lei Feng gave his whole life to help （别人）. He carried things for the elder and gave food to children. He once gave all the money he had to the sick parents of a friend. He darned（缝补）pants and socks for his fellow soldiers and taught them how to read.

    Lei Feng is not a "superman", but a role model for every ordinary （人）. Being kind to others is something that everyone should try to do.

Lei Feng once wrote in his （日记）that he wanted to be a "screw（螺丝钉） that never rusts（生锈）". This shows how humble（谦逊的）he was, although he did so many good deeds. （根据）to Chairman Mao Zedong, Lei did more than just these good deeds — he （服务）the people whole- heartedly throughout his life.
