■Interpretation
Adhering to the correct concept of justice and shared interests is a foundation of Comrade Xi Jinping's diplomatic thought, and it is also a solemn commitment made by China to the world. This concept of justice and interests is not based on the interests of individual countries, but from the interests of the whole world, "politically adhere to justice, uphold fairness, and give priority to morality, and economically adhere to mutual benefit and win-win results and common development." It is necessary to find common ground and convergence of interests, be principled, friendly, and moral, and provide more assistance to developing countries within their capabilities. From proposing the policy of "sincerity, sincerity, affinity, and sincerity", to advocating the building of a higher level of China-Latin America and the Caribbean comprehensive cooperative partnership, to visiting Southeast Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and other regions where developing countries are concentrated, China has always practiced the same concept of being a reliable friend of developing countries. The concept of justice and benefit advocated and practiced by China is the inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture, reflects the essential attributes of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and has become a clear banner for China to promote fairness and justice, enhance cohesion and appeal in the international community.

——Yu Youren presented Chiang Ching-kuo couplet
■Definition
"Calculating profits should be calculated for the benefit of the world, and seeking fame should seek fame for all generations" is a couplet given to Chiang Ching-kuo by the Kuomintang veteran Yu Youren. These 14 words later became Chiang Ching-kuo's motto.
This couplet profoundly interprets the connotations of "fame" and "profit" and reflects the Confucian concept of fame and fortune in actively entering the WTO. Regarding "fame" and "benefit", Zhuang Yuanchen, a native of the Ming Dynasty, said in "Shu Tho (jū) Zi Wai Bian": "There are three kinds of good names of people: those who have the name of good Lu Yan, those who have the name of good scholars and doctors, and those who have the name of good sages. But the same is true for those who have good eyelashes, those who have good life, and those who have good descendants for decades. Those who are good for the name of Lu Yan and the benefits of the eyelashes, everyone is also; The name of a good doctor and the benefit of life, a gentleman; The name of a good sage and the benefit of generations of descendants, sages. People are different, but those who are fame and fortune are different from each other. ”
In 1982, Liao Chengzhi, then vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, quoted this joint phrase in an open letter to Chiang Ching-kuo: "The peaceful reunification of the motherland is a meritorious undertaking for a thousand years. Taiwan will eventually return to the motherland, and an early settlement will be beneficial to all parties. …… If I can achieve this great cause in the hands of my brother, he will be respected by the whole country, respected by the world, and the merit will be in the country, and the name will remain in history. ”
