my grandfather, Lei Xinting, for many years managed to maintain a half-full life by planting 1 mu of land by the landlord Tang Sigung. Under the exploitation of high land rent, usury and exorbitant taxes, he got a heavy glass in the winter when Lei Feng was 3 years old. The landlord Tang Sigung forced Lei Xinting to pay off his rent before the year ended, and Lei Xinting died with a grudge.

my father, Lei Mingliang, participated in the Hunan peasant movement led by chairman Mao and was a self-defense captain. In 1938, the husband who was arrested was beaten by the Kuomintang, causing internal injuries and disability. He returned to his hometown to recuperate and farm to make ends meet. In 1944, he was beaten by the Japanese aggressors, and the injury was even more serious. He finally died in the autumn of the following year.

Mother Zhang Yuan Huang was born in a blacksmith's house, and was sent to Lei's home as a child bride after she was a teenager. After marriage, I worked hard to manage the family's life. After my father, husband, eldest son and youngest son passed away one after another, life became increasingly difficult. After being humiliated and forced by the landlord, I suspended myself on the Mid-Autumn Festival night in 1947.

My brother Lei Zhengde went out to work as a child laborer at the age of twelve, and suffered from childhood tuberculosis under the torture of heavy labor. One day, he suddenly fainted by the machine and ran over his arm and finger. After being fired, he worked as a child laborer in a printing and dyeing workshop. He died in a few days because of overwork, aggravated lung disease and no money for treatment.

Lei Feng was born in a poor peasant's family in Jianjiatang Village, Wangcheng County, Hunan Province on December 18th, 194.

Unforgettable scar

Lei Feng became an orphan when he was less than seven years old. Our sixth uncle and grandmother adopted him. In order to help his sixth uncle's grandmother's family, he often went to the mountains to cut firewood. However, the local firewood mountains were occupied by rich families and the poor were not allowed to cut them. One day, Lei Feng went to the snake-shaped mountain to cut wood, and was seen by the Xu landlady. The landlady pointed at Lei Feng and took away the firewood knife. Lei Feng cried for the firewood knife, but the landlady raised the knife and cut it three times on the back of Lei Feng's left hand, and blood dripped on the mountain road along her fingers ...

Determined to join the army

In August 1949, the China People's Liberation Army passed by Lei Feng's hometown. When Lei Feng saw the camping team settle down, he asked his fellow villagers for help in carrying water and sweeping the floor. Paying for firewood and food at the price, without taking the needle and thread of the masses, I have a desire to join the army from the bottom of my heart. Lei Feng found the company commander of the army and was determined to be a soldier. When the company commander learned of his suffering, he told him that he was still young and could not be a soldier until he grew up, and gave him a pen to encourage him to study hard and defend and build China when he grew up.

join the children's league

in 195, the farmers' association was established in the village, and the land reform was carried out. Lei Feng actively participated in this movement and became the head of the children's league, standing guard and keeping watch. Patrol to prevent the enemy from destroying, and he also learned to say Allegro and make propaganda.

When I was a student

In the summer of 195, the township government sent the orphan Lei Feng to study for free. In the summer of 1956, he graduated from Heyeba Primary School. In a few years, Lei Feng overcame difficulties and studied hard, which was highly praised by teachers and students. He helped backward students, cared for collective food, and fought against bad elements, which was highly praised by school teachers, classmates and villagers. At the graduation ceremony, he took the stage to speak and resolutely asked to stay in the countryside and contribute his meager strength to building a new socialist countryside.

Go to work

In September 1956, Lei Feng worked as a correspondent in the township government. In November, Lei Feng, who reached the age of 16, was recommended to be a civil servant in Wangcheng County Committee. In 1957, Lei Feng was gloriously named as a model worker in government organs.

In the spring of 1958, Lei Feng came to Kunshanhu Farm and became a tractor driver.

In September 1958, Lei Feng came to Angang to work as a C-8 bulldozer.

In August 1959, Lei Feng came to Gongchangling Coking Plant to participate in the infrastructure construction. One day in the summer of the following year, he led his partners to fight in the rain and saved 72 bags of cement from loss. Liaoyang Daily reported Lei Feng's rescue of cement and praised his deeds of sacrificing himself for others.

Lei Feng worked in Anshan and Coking Plant for one year and two months. He was rated as an advanced worker three times, a pacesetter five times and a red flag bearer eighteen times, and was awarded the title of "Young Socialist Construction Activist".

Join the People's Liberation Army

At the beginning of December 1959, the conscription work for the new year had begun, and Lei Feng urgently requested to join the China People's Liberation Army. However, due to the limited recruitment quota in the coking plant and Lei Feng's outstanding performance on the construction site, the leaders refused to let him go. This really worried Lei Feng. He ran dozens of miles and came to the People's Armed Forces Department of Liaoyang City to talk about his experience to Yu Zhengwei, indicating his willingness and determination to join the army.

Yu Political Commissar of the Armed Forces Department and the leader sent by the engineering corps specially studied Lei Feng's enlistment. He thought that he was born as a bitter child, and after practical work, his political quality was good and his motivation for enlistment was clear. Although he was 1.54 meters tall and weighed less than 55 kilograms, his physical condition was poor, but he drove tractors on farms and bulldozers in factories, and he was repeatedly rated as an activist and advanced worker in socialist construction. I believe he will grow faster when he joins the army. Finally decided to approve Lei Feng's enlistment.

On January 8th, 196, Lei Feng received the notice of enlistment and went to Yingkou City with the recruits from Liaoyang. As a representative of the new recruits, he spoke at the meeting to welcome his comrades into the army.

Lei Feng's regiment is an army with a glorious war history. He is determined to carry forward the fine tradition with practical actions. At dinner, he actively reads newspapers to everyone and publicizes the party's policies: during the break, he teaches everyone to sing, and Lei Feng feels the warmth without it in this big family. Because of his small arms and weak strength, he failed to practice throwing grenades when he started, so he went out to practice before dawn. Ten days later, like other comrades, he finally went out to practice.

Later

After the training of new recruits, Lei Feng was assigned to the transportation company as an automobile soldier. "Obeying the needs of the revolution, the revolution needs me to burn charcoal, so I will be a Zhang Side; Revolution needs me to plug the loophole, so I will be Huang Jiguang ".This is the attitude that Lei Feng showed to the organization.

Lei Feng has a cheerful personality. He is very active at ordinary times. He teaches singing, runs a wall newspaper and says Allegro can do anything. When the superior leaders arranged for him to join the warrior performance team, he recited his lines from dawn to dusk. Later, considering that Lei Feng's Hunan accent was not in harmony with everyone's Mandarin, which affected the performance effect, he offered to change himself and concentrate on logistics for the performance. Although everyone didn't see Lei Feng's performance, every program on the stage contained Lei Feng.

After returning to the transportation company, Lei Feng devoted himself to the intense study of driving skills. In view of the lack of coaches, he led everyone to make a driving platform. Lei Feng studied technology in a sleepless night and was unanimously elected as the leader of the technology learning group. In May, Lei Feng became a qualified driver, was assigned to Class 4, Row 2, and was handed over to a No.13 car for the construction site.

Nail spirit

In the construction task, he drives his car around all day, so it is difficult to find time to study. Lei Feng puts the book in his backpack and takes it with him. As long as the car stops and there is no other work, he sits in the cab and reads. He wrote a passage in his diary: "Some people say that they are busy with work and have no time to study. I think the problem is not that you are busy with work, but whether you are willing to study or not. There is time to study, but the question is whether we are good at squeezing and willing to drill. A good board, there is no eye on it, but why can the nail be nailed in? This is forced in by pressure. From this point of view, nails have two advantages: one is squeezing strength and the other is drilling strength. We should also advocate this "nail" spirit in our study and be good at squeezing and drilling.

a voluntary labor

On a Sunday in the early summer of 196, Lei Feng had a terrible stomachache. He came to the regimental health company and prescribed some medicine. He saw that a construction site was in full swing. Originally, it was to build a building for Benxi Road Primary School. Lei Feng couldn't help but push a car and join the ranks of transporting bricks until noon. Lei Feng was surrounded by a group of workers and said to everyone, "" "This afternoon, I found out the name of Lei Feng and the thank-you letter from the Second Construction Company of the city where the troops were stationed. Only then did everyone know that Lei Feng, who was ill, had done a good thing and had a special Sunday.

Dear "fool"

In August 196, Fushun, the resident, was flooded, and the transportation was connected to the flood fighting and emergency rescue order. Lei Feng endured the pain of his burned hand who had just participated in the fire fighting and fought with his comrades in Shangsi Reservoir Dam for seven days and seven nights, and was awarded a second-class merit.

wanghua district held a mobilization meeting for mass production, which was very loud. Lei Feng happened to see this scene when he went to the streets to do business. He took out the 2 yuan money (23 yuan in the passbook) saved in factories and troops and ran to the office of the Party Committee of wanghua district to donate it to make some contributions to the construction of the motherland. The comrades who took care of him could not refuse his kindness, so he had to accept half of it. In addition, 1 yuan donated it to the people of Liaoyang when Liaoyang suffered the worst flood in a century. In the case of serious natural disasters in our country, he donated all his savings for national construction and disaster areas, but he was reluctant to drink a bottle of soda.

Unity and Friendship

Lei Feng took out his own books for everyone to learn, and was called "Little Lei Feng Library". He helped his comrades to learn knowledge, but his classmate Qiao Anshan had a low education level, so Lei Feng taught him to read and learn arithmetic by hand. When Lei Feng knew that his classmate Xiao Zhou's father was seriously ill, he wrote a letter to his family in the name of Xiao Zhou and sent money to 1 yuan. Comrade-in-arms Xiao Han burned several holes in his cotton trousers when he was out of the car at night. When Lei Feng came back from duty and found it, he took off his hat and patched his trousers for Xiao Han one by one, and gently covered him. Qiao Anshan, who knows this situation, said: "Lei Feng didn't sleep for half a night in order to mend your pants!"

People's orderly

Since 1961, Lei Feng has often been invited to give lectures in other places. As he has more business trips, he has more opportunities to serve the people. There is a saying that "Lei Feng travels a thousand miles on business, but a good deed makes a train".

When Lei Feng went out to change trains at Shenyang Station, a crowd of people gathered around the ticket gate to see a middle-aged woman with a child on her back. Lei Feng bought a train ticket to Jilin with his allowance and stuffed it into his sister-in-law's hand. Sister-in-law said with tears, "What's your name, big brother, and which unit are you from?" Lei Feng said, "My name is the People's Liberation Army, and I live in China."

One day in May, Lei Feng was going to Shenyang in the rain. In order to catch the early train, he got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, took some steamed buns and put on a raincoat. On the way, he saw a woman carrying a child and leading a little girl to the station with difficulty. Lei Feng took off his raincoat and put it on his sister-in-law. He picked up the little girl and accompanied them to the station. After getting on the bus, Lei Feng saw the little girl tremble with cold, and took off his close-fitting sweater and put it on her. Lei Feng estimated that she didn't eat in the morning, so she gave them the steamed bread she brought. When the train arrived in Shenyang, it was still raining, and Lei Feng kept sending them home. The woman said gratefully, "Comrade, how can I thank you!" During the Spring Festival, comrades-in-arms happily get together to engage in various recreational activities. Lei Feng played table tennis with everyone in the club for a while, and he thought that during the New Year's Festival, the service and transportation departments are the busiest times, and how much these places need help. He put down his racket, called several comrades in his class, and went straight to the nearby Piaoertun station after asking for leave together. This helped clean the waiting room, while that poured water for the passengers, and Lei Feng brought the whole class up.

Lei Feng just chooses to do good things for the people wholeheartedly and endlessly. No wonder people think of Lei Feng when they see people who do good things for the people.

children's bosom friends

Since October 196, Lei Feng has successively served as an off-campus counselor at Jianshe Street Primary School in Fushun City (now Lei Feng Primary School) and Benxi Road Primary School.

Lei Feng usually works. He is very busy with his studies, so he can only take time off during lunch break or when he can't drive in stormy days to go to school to talk with teachers and classmates, or conduct other counseling activities. He is good at uniting children and inspiring them to study hard and make progress every day.

Lei Feng has a high sense of mission. Sense of responsibility, cultivate the next generation to grow sturdily. * * * In recognition of Lei Feng's deeds, the Fushun Municipal Committee of the Youth League presented a certificate of commendation on May 28th, 1962, which read: "Award to Comrade Lei Feng, an excellent counselor, keep up the glory and move on".

Model monitor

In September, 1961, the whole group unanimously elected Lei Feng as the representative of Fushun Municipal People's Congress.

After attending the People's Congress, Lei Feng returned to Lianyi and became the monitor of Class 4 in Row 2. Under his leadership, Class 4 became a "Four Good Class" and Lei Feng became a four good monitor of the whole company.

One evening, it was raining heavily. Lei Feng saw a woman on the highway holding a child in her arms, holding the child in her hand and carrying a burden. Lei Feng hurried forward to inquire, only to know that the eldest sister-in-law had returned from visiting relatives in other places and was going to Zhangzigou, more than ten miles away. She said anxiously, "Comrade, the rain has confused me today, and there are children."

Lei Feng put a raincoat on his eldest sister-in-law, picked up the older child and walked to Zhangzigou in the rain, preferring to get soaked by himself and walk for more than two hours before sending their mother and son home.

Modesty

Since joining the army, Lei Feng has made many meritorious deeds and won awards. He was elected as a representative of the Municipal People's Congress and attended the first Youth League meeting in shenyang military area command, with his photos, diaries and exemplary deeds. Through the newspaper. The radio station made extensive publicity, and Lei Feng received letters from all over the country praising him enthusiastically. In his diary, he wrote the following sentence: "Everything I have is given by the Party, and the glory belongs to the Party and to the comrades who helped me enthusiastically. As for my personal work, it is too little. My little contribution is still not enough compared with the requirements and expectations for me ..."

Good deeds have been a train

He traveled a thousand miles on business and did a good job.

As soon as he got on the train from Fushun, he saw that the conductor was very busy, so he set to work. Wipe the floor, clean the glass, clear the small table, pour water for the passengers, help women hold their children, find seats for the elderly, and pick up and drop off passengers with big bags. When these things were done, he took out the newspaper with him and read it to the illiterate passengers to publicize the party's policies. I have been busy until Shenyang.

when changing trains at Shenyang station, he found a crowd of people around the ticket gate. When he looked closer, it turned out that a middle-aged woman had no ticket and insisted on getting on the bus.

the more people crowded around, the more roads were blocked. Lei feng stepped forward and pulled the eldest sister-in-law and said,

"You don't have a ticket, so why do you insist on getting on the bus? "

The eldest sister-in-law explained in a sweat:" Comrade, it's not that I don't have a ticket. I went to Jilin from my hometown in Shandong Province to see my husband. I don't know when I lost my ticket and money. "

Lei Feng heard that she was telling the truth, so he said," Don't worry, come with me. "

he led the eldest sister-in-law to the ticket office and got a ticket with his allowance.
