Shanghai remembers Lei Feng with community service
The Shanghai Youth League began its volunteer work near Suzhou Creek in Putuo District on March 1 to celebrate the 61st "Lei Feng Day."
Youth volunteers will participate in a month-long campaign focused on community service and environmental protection across the city.
