A sentence that describes ignoring the lives of others for your own benefit.

Righteousness moves a gentleman, and profit moves a greedy person.

Southern Song Ye Fan's Biography of the Later Han Dynasty Ban Gu. The general idea of these two sentences is that justice can touch a moral gentleman and wealth can touch a greedy villain. China culture, which is dominated by Confucianism, advocates non-utilitarianism. It is the traditional concept of our society that those who are "figurative to righteousness" are gentlemen and those who are "figurative to benefit" are villains. Western culture emphasizes extreme utilitarianism and believes that the pursuit of personal interests is the fundamental driving force for economic development. We should have a scientific analysis and correct understanding of our traditional culture. As successors of future generations, we should creatively sort out and transform the tradition according to the specific time and space environment, establish the socialist concept of justice and benefit, and recast the political and cultural spirit of China in line with the national conditions.
