INCREASING cases of road rage reflect the declining morality of rookie drivers and it's time for us to look back 50 years to learn from Lei Feng (1940-1962), an iconic PLA soldier who dedicated his life to serving the public.
Qiao Anshan, Lei's comrade, speaks highly of Lei's courteous driving. "He never drove on the straw drying in the middle of the road as he drove through the countryside. Instead, he would stop to help villagers remove the straw to clear the roadway," Qiao said.
Lei also passed on good driving principles to his fellows because he believed careless driving would threaten the lives of others. "Drivers must have good manners and morals," Qiao quoted Lei as saying.
Qiao was impressed by Lei's warm heart on the road. He recalled that Lei suddenly wanted their truck to stop as it was going up a steep slope, because he wanted to get out and help two exhausted villagers. The men were unable to push their heavy vegetable cart further uphill.
"Lei's biggest virtue was that he considered every place his home and every person to be his family," Qiao said.
Lei was also a skilled driver because he always asked for advice and had a good grasp of driving conditions, said Xue Sanyuan, then Lei's leader.
Qiao criticized young drivers today for drunk driving, carrying illegally heavy loads and other violations.
"How drivers behave reflects the level of 'civilization.' Drivers' schools should teach students how to be good people first, instead of just caring about earning money," he said.
