Formation and Evolution of moral ideals in People's Rebublic of China

The Chinese government many times has taken certain measures to make ancient moral rules be actual for modern Chinese society. It is interesting to analyze the process of formation & evolution of moral ideals of people heroes, who used to be the plain low-educated youth. Though they came from poor unknown families, these young people were eager to make the Chinese society equal in rights etc. For realizing their social dreams they have sacrificed everything, including their own lives. Going through analyzing we used method of systemizing materials in Chinese. The main aim of this article is to define main tendention of formation and evolution of Chinese moral ideal nowadays. Object is moral ideal, subject is its evolution and populisation. Making a rather large gallery of such idols was necessary because that was important to make plain people feeling together for social feats. Otherwise, that was a kind of answer for Mao ZedongQ cult. From the early 1950 we can see that government was accenting on importance of making war and civil feats in the aim of freedom and constructing of new China. There are some propoganda posters devoting to this historical period of China.They very very impressive, but it obviously can be seen, that the society needed some ideals of socialist behavour, not war feats any more. The most creditable ideal is comrade Lei Feng. He was a very young maoist, honest and devoted to his Motherland. The secret of success of this romantic revolution ideal is that he could include both Mao ideals and some traditions together, and comrade Lei Feng sacrificed his life before Cultural revolution. Inspite of old or modern ideals, Lei Feng can be honoured at any time. He is very popular both with youth and older generation in PeoplesQ republic of China.
