Features: Establishing a correct worldview and life philosophy is the primary issue for every cadre and party member, regardless of the past, present, or future. If this issue is not resolved or is not firmly addressed, it will be impossible to work diligently or achieve any meaningful results, whether in revolution or in construction. In the era of revolutionary warfare, joining the party and becoming a cadre was to overthrow the old system and achieve national and people's liberation. Now, our party holds the position of governance, undertaking the important task of leading reform, opening up, and modernization. Joining the party and becoming a cadre is for the prosperity of the nation, the revitalization of the nation, and the happiness and well-being of the people, and never for personal gain or promotion. Communists are historical materialists, and we never deny that members of society have personal interests, ambitions, and pursuits. However, personal interests must subordinate to national interests, local interests must subordinate to overall interests, and immediate interests must subordinate to long-term interests, ensuring that individual ideals, ambitions, and pursuits align with socialist moral norms. Our cadres and party members must clarify the question of why people live. If one lives only for oneself or one's family, that meaning is very limited. Only by dedicating oneself selflessly to the interests of the country, society, nation, and collective, and fully contributing one's wisdom and talent, can life truly have meaning, be glorious, and shine brightly.
