If you live and die for the benefit of the country, how can you avoid it due to misfortunes and blessings - Lin Zexu

Everyone knows the story of Su Wu’s shepherding. After Su Wu was detained by the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu nobles first lured Su Wu with fame and fortune, and then threatened him with severe torture. But Su Wu was always upright and would rather die than surrender. The Xiongnu nobles had nothing to do, so they "moved to the uninhabited place on the North Sea of ??Wu". Su Wu "digs up wild rats, removes the grass and eats them". In such a difficult environment, he still relied on the banner of the Han Dynasty and refused to surrender. He was in his prime when he went on the mission, and by the time he returned to the Han Dynasty, his beard and hair were all white. He became a famous figure in the history of our country who upheld national integrity.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao fled to Japan. Tan Sitong "had the intention to kill the thief, but was unable to save his life". He firmly believed that "if there is no traveler, there is no plan for the future; if there is no dead, there is no reward for the Holy Lord." He went to death calmly, leaving behind the famous line "I will smile to the sky from the side of my sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact." Tan Sitong did not run away when he could, but chose to sacrifice his life for righteousness, preparing to use his blood to awaken the sleeping people. It truly is "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood"! Tan Sitong's death had a long-lasting and far-reaching impact on future generations. As he himself said, he died well-deserved! This is also a righteousness, not the righteousness of ordinary people, and it is more worthy of people's respect and admiration!

Wen Tianxiang: "Since ancient times, no one has died, and his loyalty will shine through history."

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, under attack by the Mongolian army and facing the threat of national subjugation, Wen Tianxiang resolutely shouldered the important task of resisting the Yuan Dynasty, called on heroes from all over the world to rise up, and determined to resist the Yuan Dynasty to the end. Because he was alone, he was captured by the Yuan army. Faced with the enemy's high-ranking official Houlu's persuasion to surrender, Wen Tianxiang remained unmoved and only wanted to die a righteous death rather than survive. Finally, he died for his country. He left behind a large number of poems after his death, including "Who has never died since ancient times in life" in "Crossing the Lingding Ocean"; "Song of Righteousness" written in prison and "Song of Righteousness" written in prison and found in his belt after his death. The "Edict on Clothes and Belts" (Confucius said "to become benevolent", Mencius said "to obtain righteousness", but its righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is the best, what have you learned from reading the books of sages? From now on, the common people have nothing to be ashamed of) have become illuminating the sun and the moon, and majestic mountains and rivers ’s swan song has become a precious part of the national spiritual wealth. Wen Tianxiang thus became an immortal national hero.

Zhu Ziqing would rather die than eat American relief food

Mencius said: "Life is what I want, and righteousness is also what I want. You cannot have both, so give up life. And those who take righteousness.” This means that “righteousness” is above all else. For the sake of "righteousness", "a man with lofty ideals will not drink from a stolen spring, and an honest person will not be fed by someone who complains about it."; for the sake of "righteousness," wealth cannot be promiscuous, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot bend.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao "held the emperor hostage to order the princes" and was regarded as a national thief. A famous Luoyang doctor named Ji Ping, who was loyal to the Han Dynasty, collaborated with his uncle Dong Cheng and others to plot to kill Cao Cao. He planned to poison Cao Cao when delivering medicine, but accidentally revealed the secret. Cao Cao ordered his men to beat Ji Ping severely, forcing him to recruit someone to instruct him. Ji Ping was bleeding all over the steps, but he still scolded the traitor Cao, and then bumped into the steps and died. In Luo Guanzhong's writings, he is a famous loyal minister.

During the Huanghuagang Uprising, a large number of revolutionaries shed their lives and blood. Lin Juemin led a death squad into the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi, fought bloody battles with the Qing soldiers, was shot and captured, and died calmly. Yu Peilun had a basket full of bombs on his chest. He charged forward and exhausted all his ammunition. He was captured and died heroically.

Before liberation, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Kuomintang, the economy tended to collapse and foreign goods flooded the market. The famous writer Zhu Ziqing would rather starve to death than buy American relief fans. He is called "a patriotic intellectual who shows the heroic spirit of our nation."

In today's peaceful environment, although we will not sacrifice our lives, "sacrifice our lives for righteousness" is not away from us. "Sacrificing life" is no longer limited to giving up life, but also includes personal interests that are equally important as life. "Getting justice" is no longer limited to justice, but includes all public welfare including justice. In this sense, sacrificing one's life for righteousness is not as majestic as the previous righteous men and martyrs, but it is a spark that cannot be underestimated. A single spark can start a prairie fire. Only those who are willing to give up personal interests for the public welfare will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives at critical moments.

The times call for this spirit. Only when this spirit is firmly rooted in everyone's heart can our country have hope and our nation rise.

Xiang Yu committed suicide on the bank of the Wujiang River because he was ashamed of his elders in Shandong, and would rather die standing than kneeling

Jikang resolutely broke off relations with Shan Juyuan out of righteousness, and left behind The last song is Guanglingsan.

In the face of national justice and integrity, they sacrificed their lives for righteousness and became an immortal story from generation to generation. They used their lives to defend their integrity and will be respected by people forever. But death is like a lamp extinguishing, and they at least retained their vast whiteness. . Between a gain and a loss!

Qu Yuan watched the great rivers and mountains of Chu being swallowed up little by little, and watched the group of treacherous villains flattering the king of Chu for their own glory, without caring about the country. How embarrassing is this? He was never willing to join the others, and finally threw himself into the Miluo River in despair. I understand Qu Yuan at this time. He left the world he had loved passionately with his infinite attachment to the Chu State and his infinite love for the people of the Chu State. He knew that it would be better to die vigorously than to live a humble life! Yes, Qu Yuan's body disappeared with the surging river, but his awe-inspiring righteousness will always inspire generations of Chinese people.
