Lei Feng (1940-62) is a heroic model in China who was known for his altruism and devotion to the country. In 1963, a "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" campaign was initiated nationwide by Chairman Mao Zedong and since then Lei Feng has become a cultural icon representing earnestness and service. This year marks the 50th anniversary of his death. [Photo/chinadaily.com.cn]
