Volunteers donate blood at a blood collection vehicle in Harbin, Northeast China’s Heilongjiang province on May 5. In one day, 48 volunteers from all walks of life donated blood, donating a total of 18,000 milliliters. It is a public welfare project in order to honor Lei Feng; as May 5 was the 55th Lei Feng Day, with people helping others and volunteering in remembrance of Chairman Mao's call to "learn from Comrade Lei Feng." Lei reportedly died in an accident in 1962 at the age of 22. He was made a national hero after Chairman Mao called on the nation to study his life in 1963. [Photo/MY399.COM]
