  Dumplings are also a traditional delicacy in China. Lei Feng is also the embodiment of our virtue of helping others. Then we named "Lei Feng Dumplings", which is a spread of our love and warmth.

It is also the transmission of our traditional Chinese culture of benevolence and fraternity.

We wake up at 8 o'clock every morning and end the day's condolences at 10 o'clock in the evening.

This month, we will send a gift package of love through the Lei Feng Dumpling Project to our moral models, as well as our veterans, the disabled, and sanitation workers.

I also hope that through our actions, we can enable them to have a warm and peaceful holiday in this spring.

  This is the second time I have received condolences from Lei Feng dumplings from the Volunteer Federation.

Anyway, in such a cold winter, everyone came to sympathize with me, thank you very much.

I'm in a factory and I'm looking at a factory with (and) my mother. The salary is not too high, more than 1,000 yuan a month, and two people need to eat and drink.

I usually do handicrafts, and I have become old friends with (and) Qiao Shihao for so many years. The Volunteer Federation (to me) is also very helpful. Every time I organize an event, training, etc., I also bring me along, which makes me more An income.

  I just came back from the university vacation, and then I wanted to do something when I had time, I checked it online and saw this volunteer federation.

I think their "Lei Feng Dumplings" have a very good meaning, so I joined this organization and started sending them (consolation items) from the first day.

There is pain and tiredness, but I think I have gained more.

I have really met many, many families. Different families have different misfortunes or difficulties.

I just thought that I am so old now. After I graduate, I can continue to do warmth (things) like them, and then send warmth to everyone. I think it is very meaningful.
