Excerpts from Lei Feng’s Diary《雷锋日记》节选十六
1962年4月17日
一个人的作用，对于革命事业来说，就如一架机器上的一颗螺丝钉。机器由于许许多多的螺丝钉的联结和固定，才成为一个坚实的整体，才能够运转自如，发挥它巨大的工作能力。螺丝钉虽小，其作用是不可低估的。我愿永远做一个螺丝钉。螺丝钉要经常保养和清洗，才不会生锈。人的思想也是这样，要经常检查才不会出毛病。
April 17th, 1962
A person’s function regarding the revolution is just like a bolt on a machine. The machine has many bolts that function together and only then does it become a solid whole, revolving freely and displaying its incredible working ability. Although the bolt is small, do no underestimate its function. I want to be a bolt- forever! The bolt must be maintained and cleaned, so it will not rust. Human thought is similar. It must be inspected frequently to avoid failure.
