Lei Feng was a soldier of China's People's Liberation Army who is widely regarded as a role model for altruism in China. 

March 5 has been designated as "Lei Feng Day," after Chairman Mao Zedong called on the whole nation to learn from Lei in 1963, one year after the soldier died in an accident at the age of 22.
