“A foreigner, with no selfish motives, treats the cause of the Chinese people’s liberation as his own cause. What kind of spirit is this? This is the spirit of internationalism, this is the spirit of communism. Every Chinese Communist Party member should learn this spirit… We all should learn from his spirit of selflessness and lack of selfishness. Starting from this point, one can become a person who greatly benefits the people. A person’s ability may vary, but as long as they have this spirit, they are a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, someone who has shed low-level interests, and someone who benefits the people.” — Mao Zedong, “In Memory of Bethune”
