Learn From Lei Feng's Good Example

"Learn From Lei Feng's Good Example" (zh. 学习雷锋好榜样) is a Chinese patriotic song in homage to Lei Feng, a folk hero of the People's Liberation Army. The song was written by Wu Hongyuan and composed by Sheng Mao, a few years after Feng's death.

Lei Feng was the subject of several major propaganda campaigns in China. The song's title is based on the most well-known slogan, "Follow the examples of Lei Feng", promoted by Feng himself in 1963. He was portrayed as a model citizen, and the masses were encouraged to emulate his selflessness, modesty, and devotion to Mao Zedong. After his death, state media continued to promote Lei Feng as a model of earnestness and service, and his image still appears in popular forms such as on T-shirts and memorabilia.
