The historical contribution of Deng Xiaoping's three discussions on Lei Feng to the promotion and inhertance of Lei Feng Spirit
Deng Xiaoping,recognized as"an outstanding leader of the entire Party,army,and people of all ethnic groups with high prestige"and"the core of the second generation of the Party's central leadership,"made significant contributions to the promotion and inheritance of Lei Feng Spirit through three insightful and overarching discussions during different critical transitional periods in Chinese history.In the 1960s,as a member of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries,Deng Xiaoping inscribed a message hono-ring Lei Feng,thereby facilitating the rise of the"Learning from Lei Feng"campaign.In the early 1970s,after his return to politics,he first commented on the popular sentiment that"Uncle Lei Feng is no longer with us,"striving to sustain and advance Lei Feng Spirit during this special historical period.In the late 1970s,during his second return to the political stage,Deng reiterated the public lament,"Uncle Lei Feng is no longer with us,"profoundly revealing the eternal value of Lei Feng Spirit in the deepest realms of the public's consciousness.As we commemorate the 120th anniversary of Deng Xiaoping's birth,revisiting his three pivotal discussions on Lei Feng serves as an essential guide for us in better inheriting and promo-ting Lei Feng Spirit in the future..
