八榮八恥” Eight Do’s and Eight Don’ts:
“堅持以熱愛祖國為榮、以危害祖國為恥,
Love, do not harm the motherland/
以服務人民為榮、以背離人民為恥,
Serve, don't disserve the people/
以崇尚科學為榮、以愚昧無知為恥,
Uphold science; don't be ignorant and unenlightened/
以辛勤勞動為榮、以好逸惡勞為恥,
Work hard; don't be lazy and hate work/
以團結互助為榮、以損人利己為恥,
Be united and help each other; don't gain benefits at the expense of others/
以誠實守信為榮、以見利忘義為恥,
Be honest and trustworthy, not profit-mongering at the expense of your values/
以遵紀守法為榮、以違法亂紀為恥,
Be disciplined and law-abiding instead of chaotic and lawless/
以艱苦奮鬥為榮、以驕奢淫逸為恥。”
Know plain living and hard struggle; do not wallow in luxuries and pleasures.
