Features: In the great revolutionary struggles and socialist construction in our country over nearly a century, a generation after another of heroic models have emerged, such as Liu Hulan, Dong Cunru, Huang Jiguang, Lei Feng, Wang Jinxi, Jiaolulu, Kong Fansen, and Li Xiangqun, among others. Some faced the threat of enemies with unwavering righteousness and unyielding determination; some, to achieve victory in battle, fearlessly sacrificed and bravely devoted themselves; some, with the grand ideal of communism in their hearts, achieved extraordinary accomplishments in ordinary jobs; and some, with the people in mind, dedicated everything to the cause of the people. They are the outstanding representatives of the Chinese nation and the role models for the entire people to learn from. To promote patriotism, collectivism, socialism, and the spirit of hard work and pioneering, and to cultivate citizens with ideals, morals, culture, and discipline who meet the requirements of socialist modernization, this series of "Illustrated Stories of Revolutionary Heroes and Models" has been compiled and published. In the form of (huánliánhuà), or serial illustrations, these famous heroic models are introduced to a broad readership, especially young readers, with the hope of gaining their appreciation. "The Outstanding College Student Full of Ideals and Willing to Sacrifice," Zhang Hua, is an outstanding representative of college students in the new era and a role model for the youth. During his time at the military academy, his act of sacrificing his 24-year-old life to rescue an elderly farmer who had fallen into a manure pit shocked the entire nation. He embodies the radiance of a "Four-Having" (having ideals, morals, culture, and discipline) new person. This book, with concise text and vivid illustrations, showcases Zhang Hua's excellent qualities from a young age—his early establishment of grand ideals, diligent study, all-round development, willingness to help others, and courage to sacrifice.
