According to the relevant person in charge of the school, "Learn from Lei Feng Day" is coming on March 5, and the "red" collector sent a statue of Lei Feng made more than 50 years ago, as well as 226 books and newspapers about Lei Feng published in different periods since the 1960s.
The reporter saw that the statue of Lei Feng was 75 cm long, 80 cm wide and 90 cm high, showing that Lei Feng was sitting in the cab during the work break, opening his notebook and putting it on the steering wheel, and picking up a pen to write. He wore a well-known military cap and smiled on his face.
Precious books donated by the elderly at the same time include Lei Feng’s story, Lei Feng’s diary, Lei Feng’s paintings, Lei Fengzhi, and books, newspapers, magazines, etc., which are from all walks of life to learn from Lei Feng. "Some of them are historical materials at that time and are very precious." The person in charge said that for this reason, the school specially created the "Ordinary Greatness-Lei Feng Culture Reading Zone" in the "Rainbow Avenue" open reading zone, and displayed Lei Feng statues and books in the zone for students to read.

The reporter learned from many inquiries that the donor was from Wuhan. He just retired and loved collecting all his life, especially the "red" collection. The most touching thing is that the donor used his own actions to embody the spirit of "doing good without leaving a name".
It is understood that Wuhan Primary School will rely on this special "reading position" to further expand a series of activities, guide students to tell the story of Lei Feng well, and also tell the story of volunteer service in Wuhan Primary School in combination with their own growth, and build a rich volunteer service platform to carry out labor practice experience, carry forward the spirit of volunteerism and inherit the red gene.

Wang Yunwei, a class 5 student in this school, has been reading Lei Feng’s story carefully in the reading area for two days. "Read Lei Feng’s story and know Lei Feng’s spirit. What I feel most is uncle Lei Feng’s frugality. " Wang Yunwei said that when Uncle Lei Feng was on a business trip, he took a hard steamed bun. Playing ball broke out in a sweat, but even a bottle of soda was reluctant to buy; And uncle Lei Feng’s socks were sewn and mended … He was not stingy. He used the money he saved to help people in trouble. "Looking at the lifelike statue of Uncle Lei Feng, I feel his firm belief and enthusiasm. As a young pioneer in the new era, I want to start from the things around me and pass on the spirit of Lei Feng."(Changjiang Daily reporter Yang Feng correspondent Wu Haiying)
