The moral advancement of Communists is always keeping in mind the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly. In the article Commemoration of Bethune, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out that a person has great or small abilities, but as long as he has this spirit, he is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has broken away from low-grade tastes, and a person who is beneficial to the people. The progressiveness is not only the goal and requirement of the communist morality, but also the principle and practice. On the occasion of the centenary of the Party, drawing strength from understanding the moral advanced characteristics of the Communists will help to strengthen the original mission, carry out stability and forge ahead, and uphold integrity and bring forth new ideas. Facing the future, the Communists will adhere to the principle of people first, rely on the people, constantly benefit the people, firmly rooted in the people, always consolidate the foundation of belief, persist in inspiring the force of striving, and promote the ideological and moral construction to create a new situation under the background and baptism of revolutionary spirit monuments.

Moral cultivation refers to the moral sentiment and moral realm formed by people's "self-education" and "self transformation" according to certain moral requirements, as well as long-term training. Our traditional moral thoughts are rich in moral cultivation culture. Taking the Analects of Confucius as an example, about half of the more than 400 chapters of quotations discuss moral cultivation, which deeply reflects Confucius' expectations and requirements for his disciples and future generations to "see the good and think about the same, see the bad and introspect". Communists have always attached great importance to moral cultivation, emphasizing the advancement of self morality in self cultivation. [1]
