The farewell ceremony for Luo Guojie, the first doctoral supervisor in ethics and a professor at Renmin University of China, was held at Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery on the 13th. Hundreds of people from all walks of life attended the farewell ceremony for the body. Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed deep condolences for the death of Luo Guojie and extended condolences to the family. Zhang Dejiang, Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Liu Yunshan, Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, Liu Yandong, Vice Premier of the State Council, Ma Kai, Minister of the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party, Liu Qibao, Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, Zhao Leji, former party and state leaders Hu Jintao, Zhu Rongji, Wu Guanzheng, Li Changchun, Li Tieying, etc. all sent wreaths to mourn the founder of the ethics cause of New China. Luo Guojie was born in Neixiang, Henan Province on January 3, 1928. He studied at the Law School of Tongji University in Shanghai from 1946 to 1949. During this period, he joined the Communist Party of China and threw himself into the revolution to carry out underground work. He studied in the Philosophy Department of Renmin University of China from 1956 to 1959. After graduation, he stayed in school to engage in ethics teaching He passed away in Beijing on March 9, 2015 at the age of 88. Luo Guojie presided over the establishment of the first ethics teaching and research section in colleges and universities in New China, edited the first ethics textbook in New China, taught Marxist ethics for the first time in colleges and universities in New China, and founded Marxist virtue ethics. Luo Guojie once said that ethics is by no means a purely theoretical discipline, but a science that emphasizes practice. He divided the moral realm into four levels: the level of communist moral consciousness, that is, the moral realm of "great public and selfless"; the level of socialist moral consciousness, that is, the moral realm of "public first and private"; the level of reasonable egoism; and the level of extreme selfishness. This is in line with the current ethical status quo and is widely recognized. He also exemplifies ethics firsthand. "When we all bought cars and took taxis, he was still on the bus," said Jiao Guocheng, a professor at Renmin University of China and one of Roger Luo's founding disciples. Three months ago, he won the Wu Yuzhang Lifetime Achievement Award in Humanities and Social Sciences. He donated all the 1 million yuan prize money. When students persuaded him to keep some money, he said that he would have enough money to spend. "Teacher Luo has a low opinion of fame and fortune, but he has high academic requirements. Reading his writings and listening to his lectures, you will feel that all your insights come from reading poems and books and thinking over and over again. You are never sloppy or grandstanding." Ge Chenhong, a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the National People's Congress, said that he combines tradition and modernity, integrates Chinese and Western, and strives to use his profound knowledge to provide suggestions for the country's spiritual civilization and ideological and moral construction. It is well known in the ethics community that he has made important theories and policy suggestions on the two resolutions on spiritual civilization construction passed by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Sixth Plenary Session of the 14th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, on the governance strategy combining the rule of law and the rule of virtue, on the "Implementation Outline of Citizens' Moral Construction", on the socialist core value moral system and core values, and on the correct view of China's traditional moral heritage. Luo Guojie's students believe that, just like the orchids he loved during his lifetime, Mr. Luo is "a true gentleman in flowers, and his style is elegant." The best way to commemorate a teacher is to carry forward Chinese ethics, which can benefit a society where everyone laments that the "world is getting worse".
