Chapter 40 train with locomotive

Since the great Chairman Mao issued the call to "learn from Comrade Lei Feng", Lei Feng, the resounding name, has resounded like a spring thunder in the ears of children all over the country; the glorious image of Lei Feng, like a brand new lighthouse, stands tall In front of every teenager, the ordinary and great deeds of Lei Feng's short life, like a deep spring rain, seeped into the hearts of teenagers all over the country.In the endless nursery young forests of our motherland, after the rain, it is thriving and full of greenery. What a gratifying event! Children and adolescents are the most imitative and at the same time the most energetic.When they open their pure hearts and bright eyes, and absorb wisdom and strength from life, as long as someone has an idea or a call from the top, they will follow in a storm.What a question it is to let the children listen to their call, and from whom to learn from!

Today, our teenagers and children are the happiest generation. They enjoy the fruits of revolution bought by the blood of the martyrs and live a happy life.They have not tasted what it is like to be exploited and oppressed.However, what they are happiest and most proud of is that they have a great mother and gardener by their side, this is our dear Chinese Communist Party and the most beloved leader Mao Zedong.The party and leaders not only point out the right direction for children and young people, but also often and continuously guide them to specific examples of learning.Think about it, under the influence of heroic images such as Liu Hulan, Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang, how many young heroes like Liu Wenwen have appeared among children and children!

Today, when some young people regret that they did not grow up in the age when heroes such as Liu Hulan, Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang grew up, the party once again pointed to Lei Feng as a shining example.Lei Feng, a vivid and glorious image of the communist spirit in daily life, opened the hearts of children and children. They realized that Lei Feng, who "maintained his historical bright red color" all the time in daily life, It was Liu Hulan and Huang Jiguang during the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea; they realized that if they were not mentally prepared like Lei Feng in normal times, even if there was an opportunity to "take orders in danger" like Liu Hulan and Huang Jiguang, there would be no chance of a hero in the blink of an eye. Behavior; they realize that tall buildings start from flat ground, and great heroes must also start from ordinary labor.Greatness comes from the ordinary, and greatness is bred in the ordinary. The children really understood this truth from Lei Feng.

"Uncle Lei Feng, you are a red flag on our way forward. We listen to Chairman Mao's words and we must learn from you." "Uncle Lei Feng, believe it, we will use practical actions to continue your unfinished diary..." This is the oath of millions of children, this is the footsteps of thousands of red successors gathering under the banner of communism! Just look, at this moment when the great call to "learn from Comrade Lei Feng" is still lingering, how many moving scenes have appeared among the vast number of young people and children!Inspired by Uncle Lei Feng's "Nail Spirit", the students who didn't like to work hard in the past are now praised by the teacher in class; the children who used to wipe their tears and beg their mothers for pocket money now nailed savings boxes by themselves; families with difficulties Classmates, new notebooks, triangle rulers and pencils suddenly appeared in their schoolbags, but no one knew who put them in; lonely and helpless old ladies, groups of red scarves carrying firewood suddenly poured in from the yard; On the way home from school, I suddenly saw an old man hobbled by the road, and several young pioneers rushed to help the old man home; a group of young pioneers were running on a rough road, and everyone surrounded After discussing in circles, the road became smooth and bright the next day; the child who used to leave a handkerchief for her mother to wash, now not only washes her own clothes, but her name was also listed on the school's labor honor roll for the first time... …In this campaign of learning from Lei Feng, the spiritual outlook of our children is really "renewing every day, and renewing every day"!It convinces us that the seedlings grown under the radiance of Mao Zedong Thought will surely grow stronger and more beautiful from generation to generation!

A child in Fushun said it well: "After studying Uncle Lei Feng, I understand the meaning of life. Uncle Lei Feng is the locomotive of my life. Like Uncle Lei Feng, I want to be a person who seeks happiness for the people." With the locomotive train, run away!Run on the track of "study hard and make progress every day". Although there will be clouds and rain showers along the way, you will still successfully reach the happiest world idealized by Uncle Lei Feng! May 24, 1963.
