    BEIJING, July 12 (Xinhua) -- A senior Chinese party leader Wednesday called on people to follow the example of Cong Fei, a young singer, to contribute to fostering sound social trends and building a harmonious society.

    Li Changchun, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the call Wednesday in Beijing when he met with a team giving lectures on deeds of Cong Fei.

    Cong Fei was a young singer in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province. For more than ten years, he had financially aided 178 poor students and disabled persons. Cong died of illness in April at the age of 37.

    Before his death, Cong donated his cornea, which enabled six people with eye ailments to recover eyesight.

    Cong's deeds have moved lots of people across the country. A website bearing the title of Shenzhen Spirit has been established to remember him.

    Around 800 people listened to the lectures in the Great Hall of the People by Cong's wife Xing Dan and three other people. Enditem
