Born in Wangcheng,Hunan (near the Town of Leifeng,Changsha,Hunan,named in his honour),Lei joined the Communist youth corps when he was very young. Lei died in 1962 at the age of 22,when a telephone pole,struck by an army truck,killed him,when he was directing the truck in backing up. After Leis death,Mao Zedong began what was to be known as the *“Learn from Comrade Lei Feng” (向雷锋同志学习) Campaign,designed to use Lei as a good example to the Chinese people to be cheerfully selfless and noble in thought.
the Chinese word 学习，when translated literally,can be “to learn,or learn” however,given this context,it means something like “to follow”,therefore,the slogan/phrase 向雷锋同志学习 means more of something like “follow the examples of comrade Lei-Feng.”

Cultural Importance
Communist Chinas leaders have praised Lei Feng as the personification of altruism,the truly selfless figure. Although the historicity and authenticity of the mans story is under dispute,his cultural importance is ingrained within everyday life in China. The importance of moral character was emphasized heavily during Maos era,but Deng-era reforms have seen a moral erosion where competitiveness in social networks has paved its path. Lei Fengs prominence from school textbooks have declined since the 1970s,although he remains part of the national curriculum and many of his deeds are taught in the elementary school curriculum. The term huo Lei Feng (literally Lei Feng alive) has become a noun (or adjective) for anyone that is seen as selfless,or anyone that goes out of their way to help others.
