Meanwhile, Professor BAO, standing on the height of modern life philosophy and analyzing moral issues and pre-moral issues, put forward that Chinese people should base the moral practice on the principle of “human being good by nature”, become aware of the responsibility and mission of “being a good person”, and strive for the life wisdom of “men of noble character are always in pursuit of justice and righteousness”.
