Collective interests and individual interests are essentially the same. Individual interests and collective interests are dialectical unity. On the one hand, individual interests and collective interests exist on the premise of each other. On the other hand, individual interests and collective interests promote each other and develop together.

There is a fable that there is no difference between the lifestyles of people in heaven and those in hell. They all use long-handled spoons to scoop porridge from the cauldron. The only difference is that people in heaven feed each other with this spoon, so everyone can eat enough, while people in hell only care about their own food, and no one can eat it. This fable tells people that collective interests are included in personal interests, and the realization of personal interests cannot be separated from collective interests, as long as the interests of others and the collective are taken into account. Personal interests can be realized to the greatest extent, otherwise, as this fable implies, if everyone only cares about themselves, the whole collective will starve to death, and everyone will starve to death!

On June 20, 2000, People's Daily published an article introducing the deeds of He, a cadre who helped Tibet in Hunan. How to work in Zi Long County, Tibet, where the conditions are very difficult, and work hard for the local people to get rid of poverty and become rich. Finally, he died in the line of duty. His behavior shows that he integrated his personal interests into the cause of the party and the interests of the people and pursued personal interests. Sublimated to the spirit of dedication for the benefit of society and people, although he lost his life, his spirit is immortal and his life value has been reflected to the greatest extent. People will always remember him, a great name-his writing and English will always be written on the banner of collective interests!

At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a tall and handsome figure always attracted people's attention. He is China basketball player Yao Mingyuan, who once played for Shanghai Haidong Team. Although he is very tall, has good physical fitness and has made rapid progress in basketball technology, he always regards himself as an ordinary member of the team, fully integrates into the team, and cooperates with his teammates to lead the eastern team to win the national CBA league championship. Help China win the eighth place in the Asian Games, Asian Championships and two Olympic Games. In the process of realizing the collective interests, Yao Ming's personal ideal has been realized, and his personal interests have been further increased. On June 26th, 2002, Yao Ming was successfully selected as the No.1 pick by the Houston Rockets, becoming the first foreign player to be selected in the first round in major league history. At Rocket, Yao Ming lived up to expectations. Becoming a core player of the Rockets has realized his long-cherished dream. Not only does he earn hundreds of millions of RMB a year, but he has always been the core of the team. He led the Rockets to the playoffs for four consecutive seasons and became one of the best top centers in the NBA, causing a whirlwind in the major leagues. On the contrary, Wang, the first China basketball star in Asia to enter the NBA, flatly refused when his mother called him. Sever all ties with the motherland, and resolutely refuse to participate in the relevant competitions of the China team. As a result, the China team failed in the Asian Games that year. Wang was not only criticized by Chinese people, but also affected his international image, and his technical level declined rapidly, eventually becoming an abandoned son of the NBA. The positive and negative examples of Yao Ming and Wang tell us that as a person, only by closely integrating into and contributing to the collective can we keep ourselves going.

To sum up, collective interests and individual interests are essentially the same and complement each other. The two are the premise of each other and promote each other. Without a collective, there is no individual, and without an individual, it is impossible to form a collective. Collective interests do not exclude individual interests, and the realization of individual interests cannot be separated from the backing of collective interests. As long as the two are organically integrated, collective interests and individual interests can be balanced.
