"Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want; You can't have both, and you can't give up your life for justice. It is an essay on moral standards and political integrity. Mencius expounded an important proposition with a serious attitude and solemn language: righteousness is more important than life. When righteousness and life cannot be balanced, we should give up life for righteousness. An upright person with moral cultivation should live and die for righteousness, and if necessary, he should "sacrifice his life for righteousness" instead of "forgetting righteousness for profit". It is not advisable to be greedy for money without distinguishing etiquette.
