Lei Feng (雷锋) (December 18, 1940 - August 15, 1962) was a soldier of the People's Liberation Army of the PRC. He was characterized as a selfless and modest figure after his death and an idol to many.

After Lei's death in 1962 Former Chinese Chairman Mao Zedong started what was to be known as the Study Lei Feng Campaign, designed to use Lei as a good example to the Chinese People to help others and put other's priority over self's when the time requires so.
