Lei Feng

by Lala from Queens

My hero is Lei Feng. He was a Chinese person. He was born in 1940. His family was very penury, but he studied hard. Then he acceded to the Chinese Communist Party, and became a soldier. In China, he is almost everybody's hero. He is our model.

I can remember some stories about him. He is a soldier. It is said that in the army, he always helped the people who needed help. When they worked under the sun, they all felt very thirsty. He always drank after everyone else had drunk. He liked saving money, and he would not spend money or time on useless things. Once, his friend was ill. Coincidentally, at that time, Lei Feng had a holiday to go home. He went to the home of his friend, and gave his own money to his friend's mother. But the said it was the money their son.

In modern society, people live for themselves, and don't think about helping other people. People always think that if I help you, you will give me something as pay in return. Some said he was a fool, but he said that he was willing to be a 'fool,' and that society needed this 'fool.'

All in all, he always helped others, and devoted his life to his society. In China, he is our hero. We admire him. I will become like him.
