He Qiangcheng, 22, a senior and geology major from Sichuan Normal University, has almost given up trying to act like his childhood hero, Lei Feng. 22岁的何强成(音译)是四川师范大学地理专业的一名大四学生,他几乎已经放弃以儿时的英雄——雷锋为榜样了。 “I once tried to help a woman with heavy luggage, and she gave me a suspicious look,” he complains. 他抱怨说:“有一次我想帮一位女士提她那个重重的行李箱,但却招致怀疑的目光。” “Then another time, when I returned a lost dining card to the canteen, the staff asked me to use up the cash on it rather than bothering to find the owner.” “还有一次,当我把拾到的饭卡还给食堂时,工作人员竟然让我把里面的钱花了,不必费心去寻找失主。” But, despite having met with rejections, He still wants to be like his idol. 但尽管屡遭拒绝,何强成还是希望成为像心中偶像那样的人。 His hero, Lei Feng, was a People’s Liberation Army soldier who came to represent altruism, modesty and devotion. 他心中的英雄雷锋是一名喜欢助人为乐,具有谦虚品质和奉献精神的解放军战士。 March 5 will mark the 50th year of Lei’s death. In 1963, Chairman Mao Zedong designated the day as “Learn From Lei Feng Day” and started a national campaign for people to copy his deeds. |
