At 1 pm on August 17, 1962, the "Public Memorial Conference for Comrade Lei Feng" was held in the auditorium of the Wanghua District Committee. After the public memorial meeting, Lei Feng's body will be buried in Gebu Martyrs Cemetery.

Lei Feng had never experienced the flames of war during his lifetime. His 22-year-old life is short and ordinary. But because he "lives to make others live a better life" and "because he devotes his limited life to unlimited serving the people ", the ordinary is sublimated into "great" and "short-lived" is He molded it into "eternity." Although his death was not heroic, the shock it caused across the country can be compared to the sudden change in the situation on Shangganling Mountains and the earth-shattering sound under the Longhua Bridge.

Lei Feng's Diary

In "Lei Feng's Diary" there is a poem "Singing a folk song to the Party (1960)". At first, people thought it was Lei Feng's original work, but later it was confirmed that Lei Feng had copied it. The original author is Yao Xiaozhou. However, Lei Feng made some modifications when excerpting, changing the sentence "Mother can only give birth to my body" in the original poem to "Mother can only give birth to my body"; another sentence "The Party calls us to make revolution" is changed to "The Communist Party calls us to make revolution" Call me to make a revolution." This change makes the poem more musical and rhythmic, making it more suitable for composing music. After Lei Feng's death, this poem was found in "Lei Feng's Diary". It was composed by composer Zhu Jian'er and Caidan Zhuoma sung, and it became a classic revolutionary song sung in China.
