Community marks ‘Lei Feng Day’
Print Edition
A SERIES of activities was held at Caoyang Community to mark the annual “Learn from Lei Feng Day” on March 5. On the 300-meter pedestrian street, volunteers from 31 companies and 1,000 residents offered a variety of services, stage performances and creative hand-painted volunteer maps.
Lei is a young Chinese soldier in the 1960s, known for his selflessly service to others.
The activities held in Caoyang to learn from him conveyed warmth to passers-by and promoted volunteerism in the area.
More than 40 volunteer services were presented including healthcare and legal consultations, education lectures, property maintenance, physical examination, gold cleaning and glass repair. Charity auctions were also hosted on that day. All the proceeds went to a charity fund set up by Caoyang Community in aid for needy students of the area.
Hosting activities to mark the “Learn from Lei Feng Day” on March 5 has been a tradition at Caoyang Community for over a decade. Some of the volunteers were honored this year.
Many passers-by stopped by to watch performances on the stage. Original Lei Feng-themed performances were done by local company workers. A mini-drama “It Is A Little Bit Difficult” artistically recreated heartwarming stories and scenes of good people and good deeds.
A total of 11 elderly people, the oldest of whom at 83 years old, spent more than half a month preparing for the drama.
The Lark Bird volunteer group, which was founded in 2005, has also become a volunteer service brand of the area. More and more government officials participate in the volunteer activities to support local people and families.
More “Learning from Lei Feng” activities were held throughout Putuo District on March 5. Nearly 100 veteran physicians from 32 local hospitals including Huadong Hospital, Huashan Hospital and Ruijin Hospital gathered at the Bailian Zhonghuan Shopping Mall to provide health care consultation.
The Communist Youth League of Putuo District also hosted charity parties with bazaars and auctions for the young people. More than 5,000 yuan (US$724) was raised at the bazaar. The proceeds will be spent to aid poor students and disabled families.
