March 5: Learn from Lei Feng Day (China)

Learn from Lei Feng Day is observed in China every March 5. This holiday commemorates Lei Feng, a soldier of the People's Liberation Army who was born in 1940 and died in an accident at the age of 21. After his death, he was promoted as a model citizen devoted to his country and the Communist Party, becoming a cultural icon through a nationwide propaganda campaign initiated by Mao Zedong in 1963. The day involves various community events, such as cleaning parks and schoolyards, and screenings of biographical films about Lei Feng. However, the significance of the holiday has been declining in recent years due to disputes regarding details of Lei Feng's life and a waning interest in his legacy.
