Event Recap | Spring “Vanguard” Warms the Campus: Visits to Linchuan No. 4 Primary School and Menghu School

“Classmates, with his brief 22-year life, Uncle Lei Feng embodied the noble conviction of ‘devoting one’s finite life to the infinite service of the people’!” Guided by the traveling exhibition “Be a Seed of the Lei Feng Spirit,” the docent vividly recounted Lei Feng’s journey of growth and his touching deeds. The illustrated materials on the display panels, combined with the docent’s heartfelt commentary, transformed this abstract ideal into something tangible and relatable.

As a patriotic education base in Jiangxi Province, our museum has brought this red-themed exhibition to schools, systematically illuminating the contemporary significance of Lei Feng’s spirit and guiding young students to understand that Lei Feng’s spirit is not some distant slogan—it resides in the small acts around us and in every sincere act of service. Students paused to gaze and listened attentively, as the power of role models quietly nurtured their hearts and minds.

During the Lei Feng–themed class, the docent posed impromptu questions to the students, and those who participated enthusiastically received adorable plush toys as prizes. Following that, a lively DIY activity—creating framed pictures using fluffy yarn balls—began with a playful touch. Our museum had thoughtfully prepared material kits for the students, including colorful yarn balls, picture frames, glue, and more. Staff members and teachers patiently guided everyone in selecting color combinations and carefully affixing the materials.

The students transformed into “little artists,” carefully arranging soft pom-poms into creative designs like torches. Each stick of glue was imbued with reverence for role models, and every piece radiated childlike innocence and warmth. The fusion of hands-on crafting and the passing down of values ensured that the spirit of Lei Feng truly took root in their minds and hearts through playful learning. Once they completed their creations, the students were overjoyed; during recess, they even offered a polite, unified thank-you to the staff—utterly endearing and full of youthful charm.

Lei Feng Memorial Day

The spirit of Lei Feng lives on, passed down from generation to generation. As a platform for promoting both China’s fine traditional culture and the red revolutionary spirit, our museum has consistently upheld its educational mission of “buttoning up the first button of one’s life,” striving to bring cultural benefits to the people and ensure that this spirit is carried forward with warmth through initiatives such as sending cultural services to grassroots communities and implementing the “Four Entrances” program. This campus outreach event has planted the seeds of dedication and camaraderie in the hearts of young students. May every student become a torchbearer and practitioner of the Lei Feng spirit—starting with small acts around them, spreading warmth with compassion, and writing new chapters of the Lei Feng story in the new era through concrete actions, so that the ethos of civility may blossom everywhere, both on and off campus!
