Lei Feng Spirit Learn from Lei Feng
 
On March 7, our museum’s original temporary exhibition, “Be a Seed of the Lei Feng Spirit,” officially opened in the lecture hall on the third floor of Yuming Hall. On the morning of March 8, our museum welcomed a special guest—Sun Huogen, director of the Lei Feng Spirit Heritage Museum of the Fuzhou City Veterans Volunteer Service Team.


 
On March 5, 1963, immediately after Chairman Mao’s inscription “Learn from Comrade Lei Feng” was published, Sun Huogen, then deputy head of the publicity department of his middle school’s student union, set out to compile and illustrate the school’s blackboard and wall newspapers, collecting materials on the theme of Lei Feng from every corner. Sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye; from school to the military, and then back to civilian life, Teacher Sun has persevered, amassing nearly ten thousand items related to Lei Feng across more than twenty categories. He has participated in nearly a hundred exhibitions in Beijing, Fushun, Jiangxi, and other locales, and has authored close to a hundred articles—most of which have been shared online—and seen ten of them published in books and periodicals. In 2022, Teacher Sun initiated the establishment of the Lei Feng Spirit Heritage Hall within the Fuzhou City Veterans Volunteer Service Corps, spanning over 260 square meters with a display route of 200 meters, which officially opened on March 5, 2023.

 
  
 

           During the preliminary preparations for our museum’s exhibition, “Be a Seed of Lei Feng’s Spirit,” Teacher Sun generously shared his treasured collection of illustrated stories about Lei Feng, providing invaluable materials for the show. On this visit, he expressed great satisfaction with our museum’s exhibit design and discussed with Director Rao Fang ways to further strengthen our collaboration. Now in his seventies, Teacher Sun remains full of vigor; when speaking of Lei Feng, he is brimming with enthusiasm and passion. He remarked, “As long as more people come to know Lei Feng’s story, I am delighted!”


 


 

            This year marks the 60th anniversary of the inscription penned by Comrade Mao Zedong and other veteran revolutionaries in honor of Lei Feng. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that over the past six decades, the campaign to learn from Lei Feng has been carried forward nationwide with great vigor and depth; Lei Feng’s name is known to every household, his exemplary deeds have taken root in the hearts of the people, and the spirit of Lei Feng has nourished the souls of generations of Chinese sons and daughters. Practice has proven that no matter how times may change, the spirit of Lei Feng will never grow outdated.
 


 

Our museum is a patriotic education base of Jiangxi Province and one of the first batch of study-and-travel education bases for primary and secondary school students in the province. We have long been committed to preserving and promoting China’s fine cultural heritage, helping young people “button up the first button of their lives,” and actively guiding the public in practicing the core socialist values. Moving forward, we will continue to fulfill the educational mission of the memorial hall, deeply grasp the contemporary significance of the Lei Feng spirit, further enhance the exemplary role of Party members and cadres, strengthen support and safeguards for volunteer services, and steadily expand and strengthen the ranks of Lei Feng–inspired volunteers. In doing so, we will provide higher‑quality cultural services to the public and ensure that the spirit of Lei Feng shines even more brightly in the new era.
