Moral Integrity

This term means high aspiration and moral principles. Aspiration refers to the powerful innate drives such as beliefs and courage that underpin one’s ambition and enables its realization, whereas moral principles guard and sustain one’s moral and righteous behavior. Today, the term in a general sense means to uphold justice as well as an undaunted spirit that remains unwavering and unyielding before any coercion and seduction. This type of spiritual quality has been championed by men of justice throughout generations and is regarded as the bedrock to anchor oneself in the world. For several thousands of years, this principle of moral integrity has guided China through thick and thin towards prosperity and longevity.
