A volunteer event was held on Nanjing Road East by the Memorial Hall of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Tuesday, so as to honor Lei Feng, a late soldier renowned for his generosity and altruistic deeds. Tuesday marks the annual “Lei Feng Day” in China, a valuable opportunity to learn from Lei's spirit of helpfulness. That morning, soldiers from a People's Armed Police Force unit in Shanghai set up a service site, providing residents with services such as umbrella repairing and hairdressing. The unit took over the duties of the “Good Eighth Company on Nanjing Road” in 1982, which is known for its fine traditions of resisting erosion and serving the people wholeheartedly.
