What is "survival"? As Hugo, a French writer, said, "Only with material things can we survive." This substance is a necessary condition for survival. Animals and people need material, so are animals and people alive? Not exactly. Man is not alive, because he doesn't need things like animals. His ideal is to create wealth for society. Therefore, human life is the fundamental difference between survival and life, and between animals and people.
But in real life, there are indeed some people who take material enjoyment as their purpose in life, make money everywhere, do everything possible to seek personal gain, and even ignore the law. They think that if they eat well, dress well and live well, they will be satisfied and reach their ideals. They don't know the true meaning of life at all, let alone make any contribution to society. Their goal is to eat western food, wear suits and live in villas. They regard material enjoyment as the value of life. They live in this world to survive, not to live.
On the contrary, we heroes who create wealth for society day and night, regardless of personal remuneration, work tirelessly for the cause of socialism. Their ideal is to contribute to society, not to ask for it from society. For example, Comrade Li Guoqiao, vice president of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in our province and director of the Institute of Epidemic Prevention, led all the comrades in the Institute to treat patients in remote places such as Hainan Island and Yunnan for ten years. In order to develop a specific epidemic prevention drug, he did not hesitate to do experiments with his own body. What are they doing? Do you live in a foreign house, wear a suit and eat western food? No. Their purpose is to alleviate the suffering of patients and the health of thousands of people in Qian Qian. Their ideal is selfless dedication to the cause, and the cause is their life.
Since people and animals are different in "material" existence and "ideal" life, we will never be a crawling dog that can only play. As people in the new era, we should live like British models and fight for our ideals.
