Lei Feng's heroic deeds

He helped his comrades to learn knowledge, and his classmate Qiao Anshan had a low level of education, so Lei Feng taught him to read and learn arithmetic by hand.

When Lei Feng learned that his father was seriously ill, his classmate Zhou Xiao wrote a letter to his family in the name of Zhou Xiao and sent him 65,438 yuan.

Han Xiao, a comrade-in-arms, burned several holes in his cotton trousers when driving at night. When Lei Feng came back from duty and found it, he took off his hat, mended his trousers one by one for Han Xiao and gently covered him.
