Source of words

In memory of Bethune, written by Mao Zedong on December 21, 1939. Norman Bethune (1890-1939) is a member of the Communist Party of Canada, a famous doctor and an international communist fighter. In 1937, sent by the Communist Party of Canada and the Communist Party of America, he led the Canadian American medical team to China to help the Anti Japanese war. He arrived in Yan'an in March 1938 and soon went to work in the Shanxi Chahar Hebei border area. His enthusiastic attitude, high sense of responsibility and selfless work spirit were praised by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. On November 12, 1939, he died of a virus infection. In this commemorative article, Mao Zedong wrote: "Comrade Bethune's spirit of being selfless and specially beneficial to others is manifested in his extreme responsibility for his work and his extreme enthusiasm for his comrades and the people." "Every Communist must learn from Comrade Bethune's true communist spirit." Be a "noble person", "pure person", "moral person", "person divorced from vulgar taste", "person beneficial to the people". Since then, "no self-interest, special interest" has become a typical slogan for the Chinese Communists to strive to strengthen their party spirit and moral cultivation, and has been circulating among the people for a long time.

Meaning of words

Some people may ask what kind of state it is to have no self-interest but to benefit others. the state of being selfless and specialized in benefiting others is: as the starting point of doing things, there are many such people, not few. This is a state of selfless and broad mind. This kind of person is broad-minded and magnanimous. He won't be downcast when encountering setbacks, won't be complacent when encountering good things, won't be complacent when he succeeds, and won't abandon himself when he fails. This kind of person can stand up to hardships and trials. Only this kind of person can sacrifice his life to forget death, sacrifice his life for righteousness, sacrifice himself for others, sacrifice his small family for everyone, and sacrifice his small profits for great ones. However, it can not be ignored that this can only be regarded as a spiritual realm, not as a principle. In the process of development of things, it has its own internal law of operation. It does not take people's will as the transfer. While sacrificing oneself for others, it actually perfects itself. Instead of serving itself, it perfects itself. This is what Lao Tzu advocated: do nothing and do everything. The development of things is dialectical, not unipolar.
