"Classics quoted by Xi Jinping" Episod 2: "A virtuous person is as sharp-sighted as a clear mirror hanging high, a selfless person is just like a lit candle giving all of its light to others."

As an ancient poem goes, "a virtuous person is as sharp-sighted as a clear mirror hanging high, a selfless person is just like a lit candle giving all of its light to others."

President Xi Jinping quoted this poem at a symposium commemorating the 120th birthday of late Premier Zhou Enlai. It not only aimed to remember the noble character of Zhou who was self-disciplined, upright, honest and selfless, but also to encourage today's Communists to stay true to their original aspirations of the Party and shoulder their responsibilities.
