Alix Honore, from Dominica, has stayed in China for almost seven years. She expects to earn a master's degree in international finance in July.
"I learned a lot today," she said. "I have never seen this video before. And his story was very interesting to me."
She said she hopes more people will be able to learn from Lei Feng's deeds and practices.
Honore agreed with Wang, saying that the ambitions of many people in China today are to have money and cars. Many are also only interested in besting others in competition rather than helping them.
Cai Sen, a second-year student studying international business, played Lei Feng in the short pantomime.
"During our week of preparations, we had no idea how much foreign students knew about Lei Feng," Cai said. "We showed them the most basic facts so they would understand that Lei Feng's influence went back to earlier generations and that he continues to be a role model today."
Geoffrey Law, a fourth-year student studying international business, lived in Great Britain until his parents brought him to Hong Kong to attend high school.
"I learned about Lei Feng after I came to this university and heard classmates mention him," Law said. "Lei Feng's deeds are commendable. He usually helped people and even donated all his income to those in need."
