There are some voices claiming Lei Feng’s spirit has gone out of style in today’s society. They reason is that in commodity economy people should seek more practical things, such as fame, money and the comfortable life. To them nothing is more important than those things, which is often regarded as the views of the present generation.

有一些人声称在当今社会雷锋精神已经过时了。理由是在商品经济,人们应该寻求更实际的东西,比如名誉、金钱和舒适的生活。对于他们没有什么是比这些更重要的，这常被看作是这一代人的观点。

There are some other voices claiming that the spirit of Lei Feng still has an enormous echo in millions of Chinese people. The great soldier’s story has such a strong influence on people’s ideas, values and ways of life that in every field of society there arise countless “Living Lei Fengs”, who follow the example of Lei Feng and serve the people heart and soul.

有一些人声称“雷锋精神”在数以百万计的中国人心中还有着巨大的影响。这个伟大的士兵的故事深刻的影响着人们的思想、价值观和生活方式,在社会的各个领域,也出现了无数的“活雷锋”他们以雷锋为榜样，全心全意为人民服务。

In my opinion, the spirit of Lei Feng will never be out of date. Instead, it has been brought forward. Today more and more “Lei Fengs” are coming forth from various circles among whom “Xu Hu” has already set a good example to the whole nation. The spirit of Lei Feng---an unselfish spirit will always encourage us to go forward.

在我看来,雷锋精神永远不会过时。相反,它已经被传承了。今天越来越多的来自社会各界的“雷锋”，其中“徐虎”已经为整个国家树立了良好的榜样。雷锋的精神是——无私的精神将永远激励我们前进。
