Foreign volunteers dress as China’s role model Lei Feng work on the Foreigner Street in Southwest China’s Chongqing municipality, March 5, 2015. Lei, a young Chinese soldier in the 1960s, is known for devoting almost all of his spare time and money to selflessly helping the needy. He died after being hit by a falling pole while helping a fellow soldier direct a truck on August 15, 1962. A year later, Chairman Mao called on the nation to follow Lei's example, and March 5 of every year is designated "Lei Feng Day". (Photo: China News Service/Chen Chao) |
