雷锋同志：
愿你做暴风雨中的松柏，
不愿你做温室中的弱苗。

Comrade Lei Feng:
"I want you to be pine trees in a storm, not sprouts in a greenhouse!"
一九六0年六月五日
要记住： “在工作上，要向积极性最高的同志看齐，在生活上，要向水平最低的同志看齐。”

"Remember always, at work the comrade with the most ambition is the one you regard as your equal but in life you should regard the comrade who has the lowest living standard."
