Dignity is the basic principle and the bottom line of being a man. Throughout the ages, there are many touching stories about dignity. How to treat dignity?

In the face of right and wrong, there are many martyrs who regard dignity as life. They would rather die than surrender, leaving many beautiful stories in the long river of history. During the Western Han Dynasty, Su Wu went to the Western Regions and was trapped in the desert for several decades. However, he remained loyal to the emperor and remained unmoved by threats and inducements. In the face of persuasion, Wen Tianxiang wrote, "Since ancient times, no one has died in life, leaving a glowing heart." Facing the enemy's hay cutter, Liu Hulan held his head high and stood upright, and was praised as "the greatness of life and the glory of death". In their view, a country, a nation, faith is dignity, which is placed above its own interests and cannot be violated.

In ordinary daily life, some people can stand out, highlight their backbones, embody their personal dignity and write touching chapters. Sun is a famous young man in China. When the boss of South Korea flew into a rage and ordered the workers in the factory to kneel down, he was the only one holding his noble head high, preferring to lose his job without losing his dignity. In his eyes, a person without dignity is like a walking corpse, which has lost the meaning of life.

However, some people give up their dignity in the face of fame and fortune. People like Cheng and Cheng, for their own selfish interests, betray their personality and dignity, and completely forget their basic principles and bottom line. People like Li Zhen, who give up their dignity, flatter themselves, and evade official positions, do everything they can. And during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, hundreds of thousands of puppet troops appeared in China. These are obscene people who have no personality. In their eyes, fame and fortune are above everything else.

However, in some trivial matters, we should also be flexible in dealing with issues involving face, be patient, and sometimes compromise for greater ideals, so that we can achieve success.

If Han Xinlian couldn't stand the humiliation of his legs, how could there be a Vietnamese army waiting for the world to become famous? If Sima Qian can't stand the humiliation of castration, how can he write Historical Records? This is the swan song of historians, and there are some young people now. If they don't agree, they will fight and hurt others. This is not to maintain dignity, but to care about unnecessary face. We should take this as a warning.

China has a vast territory and respects dignity, which is what people want. We should also vigorously advocate maintaining noble dignity on issues of right and wrong. In this way, the morality of our society will change in a good direction. If we persist, our nation and our country will be lucky.
