21世纪仍然需要大力弘扬和培育雷锋精神——纪念“向雷锋同志学习”题词发表40周年

The Necessity of Advocating and Cultivating Lei Feng's Spirit in the 21st Century --To the Anniversary of the Inscription "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng"

新的时代需要雷锋精神,雷锋精神也完全能够同改革开放、发展市场经济,全面建设小康社会,加快社会主义现代化建设,开创中国特色社会主义事业新局面的时代要求结合起来。

Lei Feng's spirit, which represents the direction of socialist moral construction, is deep-rooted in the masses. It results from a combination of communist thoughts and socialist practice, and that of the life oudook and values of the Communist Party members and traditional virtues of the Chinese people. Lei Feng's spirit is more than something belonging to the era of planned economy. It has become part of the spirit of our times. Our era needs Lei Feng's spirit. It is necessary for us to connect it with the practice of reform and opening, the development of the market economy, and the construction of wealthy society.
