Overview:
Lei Feng (雷锋; Léi Fēng) (December 18, 1940 - August 15, 1962) was a soldier of the People's Liberation Army of the PRC. He was characterized by propaganda as a selfless and modest figure after his death and consequently was an idol to many. Today Lei continues to serve as the idol to elementary school students who commemorate and "learn from" him in everyday life, and has become a resilient cultural icon, with many t-shirts printed with his picture on the front.
Born in Wangcheng, Hunan (near the Town of Leifeng, Changsha, Hunan, named in his honour), Lei joined the Communist youth corps when he was very young. Lei died in 1962 at the age of 22, when a telephone pole, struck by an army truck, killed him, when he was directing the truck in backing up. After Lei's death, Mao Zedong began what was to be known as the *"Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" (向雷锋同志学习) Campaign, designed to use Lei as a good example to the Chinese people to be cheerfully selfless and noble in thought.
the Chinese word 学习, when translated literally, can be "to learn, or learn" however, given this context, it means something like "to follow", therefore, the slogan/phrase 向雷锋同志学习 means more of something like "follow the examples of comrade Lei-Feng."
Since, March 5th has become the official "Learn from Lei Feng Day". This day involves various community and school events where people go clean up parks, schools, and other community locations. Local news on that day usually has footage from these events.
Lei's most recognizable image in popular culture is in t-shirt, he's in the same category as other revolutionary symbols including Mao Zedong and Che Guevera at street vendors. Some Lei Feng t-shirts have made their way into the United States as well. Hayden Christensen's character in the movie Life as a House is wearing a Lei Feng t-shirt.
In March 2006, China released a game titled Learn From Lei Feng Online in which the player has to do good deeds, fight spies, and collect parts of Mao Zedong's collection. If the player wins, he or she gets to meet Chairman Mao in the game.
Cultural Importance
Communist China's leaders have praised Lei Feng as the personification of altruism, the truly selfless figure. Although the historicity and authenticity of the man's story is under dispute, his cultural importance is ingrained within everyday life in China. The importance of moral character was emphasized heavily during Mao's era, but Deng-era reforms have seen a moral erosion where competitiveness in social networks has paved its path. Lei Feng's prominence from school textbooks have declined since the 1970's, although he remains part of the national curriculum and many of his deeds are taught in the elementary school curriculum. The term huo Lei Feng (literally Lei Feng alive) has become a noun (or adjective) for anyone that is seen as selfless, or anyone that goes out of their way to help others.
首先说一点，雷锋是我老乡，我无意拖共产主义后腿，但刚无意中看到网站上写雷锋事迹，是越看越糊涂，感觉有若干的逻辑问题，有没有这方面比较了解的同志，能澄清下，到底雷锋事迹多少是真？
这些疑问包括（截取若干，还有很多大家自己去找找吧）：
从一九六一年开始，雷锋经常应邀去外地作报告，他出差机会多了，为人民服务的机会就多了，人们流传着这样一句话：“雷锋出差一千里，好事做了一火车”。
一次雷锋外出在沈阳车站换车的时候，一出检票口，发现一群人围看一个背着小孩的中年妇女，原来这位妇女从山东去吉林看丈夫，车票和钱丢了。雷锋用自己的津贴费买了一张去吉林的火车票塞到大嫂手里，大嫂含着眼泪说：“大兄弟，你叫什么名字，是哪个单位的？”雷锋说：“我叫解放军，就住在中国。” （雷锋式幽默，汗一个... ...很是奇怪，如果雷锋没说名字，大嫂就不应该知道他是谁，那么这个事情是如何传出来的？难道是雷锋回到部队自己广播的？自己在《雷锋日记》里写的？自己写的嘛.....谁能担保有真伪）
五月的一天，雷锋冒雨要去沈阳，他为了赶早车，早晨5点多就起来（路上人应该很少吧），带了几个馒头就披上雨衣上路了，路上，看见一位妇女背着一个小孩，手还领着一个小女孩也正艰难地向车站走去。雷锋脱下身上的雨衣披在大嫂身上，又抱起小女孩陪他们一起来到车站，上车后，雷锋见小女孩冷得发颤，又把自己的贴身线衣脱下来给她穿上，雷锋估计她早上也没吃饭（雷锋心里想的事情作者也知道？），就把自己带的馒头给她们吃。火车到了沈阳，天还在下雨，雷锋又一直把她们送到家里。那位妇女感激地说：“同志，我可怎么感谢你呀！”（这个事情是如何传出来的？）
一天傍晚，天下起大雨，雷锋见公路上一位妇女怀里抱着小孩，手里还拉着小孩，身上还背着包袱，在哗哗的大雨中一步一滑地走着，雷锋忙上前一打听，才知道这位大嫂从外地探亲归来，要去十几里外的樟子沟去，她着急地说：“同志啊，今天雨都把我浇迷糊了，这还有孩子，我哭也哭不到家啊！”
雷锋把雨衣披在大嫂身上，抱起那个大一点的孩子冒雨朝樟子沟走去，宁可自己淋得透湿，一直走了两个多小时，才把她们母子送到家。 （同样的问题）
问题：1940年12月18日出生，很多文章都描述了他对资产阶级和地主的憎恨，49年我国解放，但是1949年他才9岁，9岁的小孩，哪来那么多仇恨的？？
另外，我有一个好奇的问题：雷锋怎么那么爱照照片？（那可是60年代）
这一张据说是他初恋女友
请各位解答，实在是觉得想不通了才问各位，要骂人的，请遵守秩序排队！
