Excerpts from Lei Feng’s Diary《雷锋日记》节选之六

一九六0年六月

单丝不成线，独木不成林。一个人是办不了大事的，群众的事一定要发动群众、依靠群众自己来办。……我一定虚心向群众学习，永远做群众的小学生。只有这样，才能做好工作，才能不断进步。 我深切地感到：当你和群众交上了知心朋友，受到群众的拥护，这便会给你带来无穷的力量，再大的困难也能克服，无论什么艰苦的环境中，都会使你感到温暖和幸福。

June, 1960

One piece of silk does not make a string. One single tree does not make a forest. One single person can not succeed on his own. You have to motivate people and depend on them to accomplish the task as a group. I must learn from the people humbly and be a student of them. Only in this way will the work be better and progress be made constantly. I deeply feel that when you become one with the people and earn their support - this will give you infinite power. The ability to overcome the biggest difficulties, no matter how difficult the situation is, will always give you warmth and happiness.
