What We can Learn from Lei Feng

Lei Feng is an ideal example of being a good citizen with selfless virtue. In his limited lifetime, he did all beneficial things without wanting of being rewarded but he is remembered and will be remembered generation after generation and he is rewarded by the worship from the bottom of our hearts. His lunch box, the rainy night, the envelops through which his saving sponsored underprivileged children for school etc play as musical notes to pass on the song of universal love. We are obliged to take him as an example for as a member of the society we are supposed to contribute for the sake of our common well-being as Lei Feng used to do. When we see people in trouble or even in danger, a warm hand will make the troubled happy and us smile. We discriminate those who are indifferent when our fellow men are in need. The key point is that we can go one step further, like Lei Feng escorted the old lady and his daughter back home on the rainy evening, giving them our hand. We learn from Lei Feng means we provide favors when we are in the situation like Lei Feng was in. Anyway, action speaks louder than words. The hand we give is more than just the action of help. It means the harmony we are trying to create and maintain. However, one is far from enough, two is not sufficient, three is no better than the-more-the-better. With the Lei Feng Spirit inherited by billions of us, harmony will surely be like honey which leads us a sweet life, a harmonious society.

    The town was destroyed and many of the residents were sold into slavery and various rebellions occurred in the following years. Nevertheless, the blame cannot all be placed on the community members alone. According to Yangming, “the government failed the citizens by not properly teaching them in addition to a lack of families regulating themselves or exerting good influence on their fellow villagers.” This compact also shows Yangming’s fondness of Confucian ideals by giving community members a list of guidelines they must follow in order to improve society as a whole. By focusing on the ideals of Confucianism, the author thought citizens would become “good.” Confucianism exists to educate people to be self-motivated and to enable people to assume their responsibilities, which cultivates a better self and a harmonious society, which is…

    Filial piety played an important role throughout The Death of Woman Wang, and was demonstrated in several interactions and consequences. Ts’ui Meng is a great example of how Confucian views were present in the northeastern corner of China, but not idealistic. At the age of sixteen, Ts’ui Meng was known as a violent boy around the neighborhood. “Only to his mother did Ts’ui show respect, and he would calm down when she appeared: she would scold him for his conduct, and he would respond obediently to all her commands…” (79). Filial piety or simply respect and support for one’s family…

    Why Is Ying Zheng Bad

    When Ying Zheng governed the China, he was so ruthless, many people don't like him, he lost popular support. Ying Zheng hoped the "brute force" to rule the people forever, but that was not the case. Neininger said the heroes of Chinese history and mythology are called in to provide unquestionable evidence that only a kindhearted ruler can secure a lasting reign; Yao, Shun, Yu, King Wen, the Duke of Zhou and Duke Tai are all exemplary paragons of virtue. The Chinese history told that rulers had to treat their people well, then the people will like their king and their generation. Even the ruler dead, people would still love him and missed him. Then the ruler's generation will keep continue their government. Ying Zheng is the negative example.…

    Although they observed their parents demonstrating respect for their elders, the tradition of filial piety is not important to them. As Wang Lung's children grew up they saw their parents following the tradition of filial piety throughout all of their childhood. Whenever food would be scarce Wang Lung's father would eat first and would have the most no matter how hungry everyone else was. Although they did grow up and see how they should treat their elders Wang Lung's children didn't follow the tradition. They treated their father horrible, spending a lot of his money on useless things and implying at the end that they were going to sell his most valued thing, his land.…

    Lao Tzu, in his “Tao-te Ching”, has an optimistic, almost idealistic perception of “the people”. His proposed attitude for the ruler to have toward citizens resembles that of parents toward a child. They treat the child with love and care. At the same time they let go of restrictions and rules, so…

    The Gift By Li-Young Lee

    • 282 Words

    Li-Young Lee’s, “The Gift” unquestionably communicates several ideas, some rather direct, and others buried within the rhetoric and composition of the poem. Although the meaning (of the poem) may be left to interpretation, one of the most prominent concepts of the story, in my belief, is the gift of love and consequent tradition of offering it to loved ones. In the beginning of the poem, the narrator describes his father comforting him in the painful situation of removing a metal splinter from his hand: “My father recited a story in a low voice. I watched his lovely face and not the blade.” The father’s calm and affectionate demeanor can be further attested to in the second stanza, “...I recall his hands, two measures of tenderness, he laid…

    At its most basic, chaos/disharmony is the problem and order/harmony is the solution. A belief in Confucianism is that man is basically good, but can be stunted through negative environmental influence or neglect, and therefore must be cultivated as a garden through ritual and disciplines about one’s qi. Problems inevitably arise in human life, but they themselves are capable of promoting learning and growth. “A mistake is not a ‘sin’, but an opportunity to learn and do better next time” (Richey).…

    Lao-tzu concerns himself with the three values of simplicity, patience, and compassion. As far as individual happiness goes, Lao-tzu finds truth in the fact that a ruler cannot provide happiness for his people if he is consistently trying to make them happy. Throughout the “Thoughts from the Tao-te Ching,” Lao-tzu supports a type of “invisible” government. He insists that if the government is too powerful it will lose the trust of its citizens.…
