also absolutely impossible for the millions spirit of martyrs in the Anti-Japanese War to accept. However, please think about it. The Qing dynasty has been maintained in China for more than 260 years, and the 400 million Han nationality people have been condemned as slaves. At the beginning of fierce resistance, most Chinese people did not want to bow to the Qing Dynasty. They believed that “patriotism” is the most basic belief in life. To surrender to a foreign tribe is to betray the ancestors, it is not good enough to be human. However, the resistance soon ceased. The rulers of Qing dynasty practiced many enlightened rules. Most people no longer have righteous indignation, words and deeds of traitors are accepted, and the principle of patriotism is abandoned. The surrender of small countries around to China is also betrayal for them, but Chinese people have never doubted the justness of it, let alone Tibet, Xinjiang, and Taiwan.

Of course, the principle of patriotism is correct in most cases, and it must be followed. I only emphasized that it is not the most fundamental value standard. Other principles that we once considered to be immutable are not absolute, too, such as socialism, liberalism, communism, internationalism, pacifism, equality, justice, the rule of law, dedication, honesty, and goodwill.

The principle is the judgment of the abstract concept. It involves a great deal of extension, involving many people, many things, and many people's interests. Once the principle is overturned, it will have the potential to affect the lives of countless people, destroy people's confidence and undermine social order, which will bring tremendous pain and many people's death. Therefore, we need to find eternal principles. Many people have used their lives to defend their faith. But unfortunately, we must admit that there is no absolute principle. What we can do is work hard to find the most stable principles and work hard to maintain their stability.

In history, there have been many revolutions in philosophy and ethical concepts. Every revolution means that it may overthrow the entire ideology. At this time, only the most fundamental value standard is the basis for establishing a new norm, and it cannot be based on any existing norm. What is the most basic value standard? It is individualism, humanism, and evolutionism.

Individualism is based on the individual's personal interests as the ultimate criterion of value, and humanism takes the value of the majority as the ultimate criterion. Zhu Xi, a Neo-confucianism theorist, puts forward the idea of “Knowing the truth, exterminating the desires.” Many religions believe that human desires are the source of all evils, and they use restraint as their basic teachings. After the Renaissance, these thoughts were thoroughly criticized. People's needs and interests are no longer synonymous with evil. People can earn their interests justifiably. Individualism and humanism are the moral principles in the depths of everyone's hearts. They are dialectically unified.
