I want to be wholeheartedly dedicated to the Party, socialism, and Communism."  
On 5 March 2013, an elderly photographer known for taking pictures of this person died of a heart attack shortly after speaking at this person's 50th annual celebration. This person was the subject of a series of suspiciously well-shot photographs which show him performing mundane activities such as darning socks, fixing a truck and reading his favorite book by flashlight. According to one account of this man's life, he was crushed to death at age 21 by a falling telephone pole, and a campaign using the slogan "Learn From [this person]" was launched shortly after his untimely demise. This cheery five-foot-tall (*) soldier is the purported source of stupid quotes like "Human life is limited, but serving the people is limitless" and "I have only one desire in my heart. I want to be wholeheartedly dedicated to the Party, socialism, and Communism."  For 10 points, name this propaganda figure who probably never existed, the author of a forged diary expressing his selfless dedication to the teachings of Mao Zedong.
