Confucius said, "The gentleman helps others achieve their  beauty but not their evil.Petty people are the opposite." In Confucius' view, one of the virtues of a gentleman is that he can help others to achieve their beauty, but not their evil. “To achieve beauty” can be understood as fulfilling the virtues of others or promoting good things for others. This is certainly a concrete manifestation of the benevolence of a gentleman.

If we use the principle of 'helping others to achieve beauty' to guide the interaction and interaction between different countries, then we will hope that our country and other countries will treat each other like gentlemen, and everyone will help each other to achieve beauty, so that we can share beauty together. Although it is very difficult to help others achieve their beauty in reality, as gentlemen, we should not give up this noble ideal or this unavoidable responsibility in face of the difficulties of reality. The ideal world of 'beauty and coexistence' can only come through the efforts of a gentleman's fearless efforts in “helping others to achieve their beauty.”
