“雷锋精神”新思考 　　编者注： 时代不断进步，可能很多人认为“雷锋精神”热度已经退却(fade out)。但如今，无数英雄就在我们身边用无言的行动证明了，雷锋精神并未走远，且与时常新。 　　He Qiangcheng, a senior and geology major from Sichuan Normal University, has almost given up trying to act like his childhood hero, Lei Feng. He complains, “I once tried to help a woman with heavy luggage, and she gave me a suspicious(怀疑的) look.” “Then another time, when I returned a lost dining card to the canteen(食堂), the staff asked me to use up(用光) the cash on it rather than bother (费心) to find the owner.” 　　Now, there has been a debate about whether the spirit of Lei Feng lives on, and whether the selfless role model is still valuable in a materialist (物质) society. 　　Some think it out-of-date. “In a world where everyone emphasizes the importance of ‘me’, many of my peers think there’s little ground for giving up one’s interests purely for the sake of (为了) others,” says Lin Zi’en, a student in South China Normal University. 　　Commentators (评论员), however, point out that those who regarded Lei Feng’s spirit as being outdated have misinterpreted (误解) its meaning. Yang Haibin, deputy (副的) secretary of China Communist (共产党) Youth League Beijing Committee (委员), said, “Learning from Lei Feng could be a mutually(双方的) caring and benefiting act, which is the basis of civilized (文明的) society. It’s also being content with a simple and humble (谦逊的) way of life.” Hu Danhua, an international business major from China University of Political Science and Law, agrees. “I’ve gained peace of mind and spiritual fulfillment through small acts of kindness, such as teaching village pupils. I could obtain it from nowhere else.” 　　In a society with material abundance (充裕) but a lack of morality, it seems hard to cherish the Lei Feng spirit. Passers-by hesitate to help people in need. Cases that good man have landed in trouble are well publicized (公布). But Liu Jifeng, director of the National University of Defense Technology, says it is important to help others as much as you can.
