The traditional virtues of the Chinese nation--helping others to be happy

Helping others is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. This world is like a hall full of countless candles, these candles are like a person, some of them are burning and shining the light of conscience and fraternity, illuminating the hall, and some of them extinguish this light, the more extinguished, the more the hall will be dim. On the contrary, if everyone shines this light, it will make the hall shine forever.

Everyone needs help, and everyone should help people. Helping others is recognized as the most appreciable quality. A person who helps others is a true human being. He does not restrain himself, in the moral scale, his weight is the heaviest; in front of the mirror of history, his figure is the longest.

Helping people is a virtue, it cleanses the dust of selfishness, like gold, like crystal, and its light never wears off. The light of helping people is shining in everyone's heart. Yet there are many people, unwilling to let its light seep into their words and deeds.

The traditional virtue of helping others should be carried forward and not abandoned. It is a star that does not fall, in the long river of history, in the social arena, always glittering. Helping people is an eternal virtue.
