Lei Feng,was set up as a typical character in 1963. Until now,it has passed through more than 50 years. Review all the typical characters established after the founding of New China,only Lei Feng never fade out of public view and has been learned enthusiastically again and again at the call of the Party. As an important political symbol,Lei Feng was constructed as different images in different periods. The mainstream media which speaks on behalf of the official played a great role in that process. At the same time,the interpretation of Lei Feng from folks has also undergone great changes and shows an increasingly opposite state with the official discourse especially in recent years.In this paper, starting from the angle of discourse analysis,I sorted and analyzed the image of Lei Feng in the official and popular discourse by analyzing related reports from"people's Daily" and the Internet. I hope i can provide some advice on Lei Feng's Propaganda and the development of two public opinion fields in the new age for reference.This paper is divided into four chapters. The first chapter introduces the origin of the research and summarizes the existing research literature,then puts forward the methods,significance and innovation of the research. The second chapter firstly introduces the theory of discourse analysis and two public opinion fields,then clarifies Lei Feng's image of different periods in the official discourse through text analysis of Lei Feng's reports on "people's Daily" in the past 50 years. Then analyzes the way it has been constructed and the reasons for such construction. The third chapter introduces theory of two public opinion fields,summarizes different interpretations of Lei Feng's image in different periods in popular discourse. I give special attention to Lei Feng's text on the Internet. I analyze the reason for such interpretation.
