From an inspirational point of view, it inspires us to have a mind of self-transcendence and selfless dedication. Life should not only focus on one's own gains and losses, honor and disgrace. A truly great person is always willing to dedicate his accumulated knowledge, experience and strength to cultivate and support the latecomers and contribute to a greater cause after achieving a certain degree of personal growth. This kind of dedication is not to get rewards or praise from others, but out of deep yearning for good things and a sense of responsibility to promote the world to become a better place. It encourages us to break through the narrow self-limitation, realize a higher level of self-worth in dedication, make the meaning of life sublimate constantly in giving, and use our own "nutrients" to water the "flowers" of others' growth, so as to achieve self-transcendence on the road of dedication and write a more meaningful chapter in life.-Conforming to traditional values: In China's traditional culture, there has always been the idea of "helping the world if you are up to speed, and protecting yourself if you are poor", as well as the value orientation of advocating dedication and paying attention to spiritual inheritance.
