He has led a group of university student volunteers since last year. They help children at a primary school with their studies and daily lives. “When I was a small child,” Zhao said, “I knew March 5th was a day for people to learn from Lei Feng and help others, but I didn’t know the real meaning of the spirit of Lei Feng. Now when I see the smiling faces of the kids I have helped, I deeply understand Lei Feng. Helping others makes me happy.” Lei Feng (1940-1962) is one of the best-known soldiers in Chinese history. He lost his parents when he was very young. His neighbors brought him up. He died in an accident at the age of 22. He did many good deeds in his short life.

On March 5th, 1963, Chairman Mao called on people to “Learn from Lei Feng” and made the day “Lei Feng Day”. Today over 60 years has passed since Lei Feng’s death. Some people say that the spirit of Lei Feng is out. There have been many reports about the coldness of people towards strangers. This has made many Chinese people think deeply about themselves. Many people think we need to promote（提倡）that spirit again. The important thing is that we must be ready to help others and make it a habit. ( )1. Which day is “Lei Feng Day”? A. May 3rd. B. May 5th.
