March 5, 2018 marks the 55th anniversary of Comrade Mao Zedong's inscription "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng". Although Lei Feng left us half a century ago, his spirit has accompanied generations of Chinese people to forge ahead.
In the new era, the spirit of Lei Feng has richer connotation. In order to carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng and spread positive energy, on March 3 to 4, the Youth League Committee of Yiyang Rubber & Plastics Machinery Group Co., Ltd. carried out young volunteer service activities and delivered warmth to the elderly in the gerocomium, inheriting and promoting the spirit of Lei Feng and fulfilling socialist core values.
On the evening of March 3, the company’s youth volunteers together with the city's volunteer union provided services for passengers at Yiyang Railway Station. They helped to pull luggage, helped passengers with electronic ticket collection, showed new arrivers directions, and helped to carry luggage for riding.
On the morning of March 4, the "Youth Commando" composed of over 10 league members from the company's general assembly shop drove more than 10 kilometers to Xiangpulun Town Gerocomium to visit seniors of no family. There are a total of 41 old people without family, all of whom are “five-guarantee households” and fully rely on governmental support.
The young men, led by Wu Yuewu, member of the Youth League Committee and captain of the Youth Commando, brought apples, oranges, bananas and other daily necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrushes and towels to old people in the gerocomium.
Seeing branches, weeds and other garbage piled up on the back lawn of the gerocomium, the commandos cleaned it up in a moment. This brought warmth to the gerocomium and spread the positive energy of the staff honoring the elders, taking pleasure in helping people and being dedicated. Starting with petty things, they made Lei Feng's spirit integrate into the life and work and carried forward the spirit of Lei Feng in the new era in dribs and drabs and through practical action.
