In November 1960, Lei Feng was regarded as a model for studying "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" by the Shenyang Military Region. In February 1961, various units of the Chinese People's Liberation Army launched a campaign to learn from Lei Feng. At the climax of the incident, the Shenyang Military Region decided that the Political Department of the Shenyang Military Region and Lei Feng's 10th Regiment would organize a traveling exhibition of Lei Feng's advanced deeds. Due to insufficient photos, they decided to take some additional photos. The leaders of the Shenyang Military Region Engineering Corps made authenticity regulations for the additional photos of Lei Feng. : The photos taken must be real, and they must be good people and good deeds that Lei Feng has actually done.

Zhang Jun, a military photojournalist who participated in the creation of "Lei Feng's Story", once said that it started after the article "Chairman Mao's Good Soldiers" was published in the Shenyang Military Region's "Forward News" on November 26, 1960. Zhang Jun recalled that in order to create the image of Lei Feng, the Shenyang Military Region set up a photography group and a diary guidance group for him. The Shenyang Military Region Engineering Corps Party Committee also organized the "Tourning Exhibition of Comrade Lei Feng's Advanced Deeds" and formed a preparatory organization in early February 1962. Exhibition team.

Draft the specific content and appoint Zhang Jun to "retake" some photos. These "retakes" photos are based on some articles reporting on Lei Feng and so-called literary works such as: "Lei Feng's Diary" and "Lei Feng's Diary". It was created by imagining the contents of the article "Chairman Mao's Good Soldier", Lei Feng's deeds, etc. In more than two years, 223 photos were taken, an average of one every three days.
