Characterized as a selfless, warm-hearted and generous figure that devoted to serving the people, model soldier Lei Feng has became a cultural icon representing selfless devotion in present China. Since late Chinese leader Mao Zedong called upon the national to "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng" and to carry on his spirits on march 5, 1963, the day became an annual "Lei Feng's Day", on which various voluntary services were offered across the country. The backdrop of Chinese characters reads as "Lei Feng Spirit". (Xinhua/Cui Xinyu)
