"Be a useful person to the people".
Wang Mei, professor at the Military Management College of the National Defense University
People live in the world, and it is very important to choose what kind of person to be and who to do things for. The different answers to this question highlight a person's ideological realm and spiritual pattern, and determine the direction of a person's life and the embodiment of value.
In this regard, Lei Feng's choice is to "be a useful person to the people". In the blank space of the article "Serving the People", Lei Feng wrote: "I think that if a revolutionary is alive, he should dedicate his whole life and energy to the cause of human liberation-communism. I live for only one purpose, and that is to be a useful person to the people. ”
In the short course of 22 years of life, Lei Feng, an ordinary soldier, has always adhered to the fundamental purpose of our party to serve the people wholeheartedly, and has always adhered to the pursuit of the highest value of the communists. When the reservoir was in danger, he rushed to the front line to fight the flood and rescue without hesitation; When the worker's family was in difficulty, he subsidized the whole month's salary; When he met a lost lady, he braved the rain to help her find her relatives ......There is not much earth-shattering, not much vigorous, Lei Feng is just a little bit of dedication, step by step practice, the self-interested, specifically benefiting others as the greatest happiness and joy, and this is the reason why Lei Feng's spirit can still shine through time and space. In the new era, we must also be like Lei Feng, do our best to do every little thing that is beneficial to the people, and be a useful person to the people.
Determined to be a useful person to the people, showing the moral consciousness of upward and good. Cui Kun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering who has worn a shirt for 30 years, has donated tens of millions of dollars to support poor students. When he found a child falling into an ice cave, he rushed to the ice cave desperately, leaving the hope of life to the young child, but his life was forever fixed at the age of 41. In life, when you see people who are "drenched in the rain", there are always people who stand up and "hold an umbrella" for them in time. When more and more good thoughts and good deeds are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and move the hearts of the people, they will surely gather majestic power and continuously inject a steady stream of kinetic energy into the progress and development of society.
If you aspire to be a person who is useful to the people, you can inspire the fearless fighting spirit of revolutionaries, and the more difficult and dangerous you are, the more you will move forward. In the face of the harsh natural environment, Gu Wenchang, who was praised as "the secretary of the county party committee who will always live in the hearts of the people", swore to the sky: "If you don't ** wind and sand, let the wind and sand bury me." "During his 14 years in Dongshan County, more than 400 mountains and more than 30,000 acres of sandy beaches were covered in green, which fundamentally changed the harsh natural environment of the local area. After graduating with a master's degree, Huang Wenxiu insisted on "going back to build his hometown and bringing hope to more parents and villagers", devoted himself to the front line of poverty alleviation, dedicated himself, interpreted the original mission of the communists with beautiful youth, and composed the song of youth in the new era. A person's ability is large, the position is different, and the responsibility is heavy, but the reason why some people can walk in the forefront and dare to overcome difficulties is that they always take dedication to society and helping others as a kind of behavior and habit in practice, as a kind of happiness in the pursuit, as a kind of belief and belief in abiding by, without asking for returns, regardless of gains and losses.
To be a person who is determined to be useful to the people, it is important to practice comprehensively and persistently. Marx said that the essence of human beings is not an abstraction inherent in a single person, but in its reality, it is the sum total of all social relations. Lei Feng "traveled a thousand miles on business, and did a good thing by train." In fact, in daily work, study and life, every social relationship and every bit is a test, and it is also an opportunity to improve your personality and improve your realm. If a person wants to realize his own value, he must strive to make his own contribution to social development and progress, persevere, perseverance, a drop of water to moisten an inch of land, a ray of sunshine to illuminate an inch of darkness, is a screw to stick to their posts.
**Emphasis, "Lei Feng spirit is eternal" and "Lei Feng spirit will never go out of style". We should respond to the call of "starting from me, starting from now, starting from little things" with actions, so that the eternal light of Lei Feng's spirit will illuminate the mind and heart, shine between words and deeds, gestures, and "be a useful person to the people", which will become a common practice in the whole society and be inherited and carried forward from generation to generation.
