【Human. Survival, desire, mission +X 人•生存、欲望、使命+X】
Since humans began to think, they have asked: Who am I? Why did I come to this world? What exactly am I living for? When religions appeared, humans turned to them for answers to questions about the purpose, meaning, and fate of life. During the Warring States period, Gaozi said: "Appetite and sex are human nature." Yes, everyone needs to eat and survive; people also have the right to aesthetics, and humans must constantly reproduce.
But humanity is progressing, and civilization is developing. In the 20th century, the "Four Haves" — having ideals, morality, culture, and discipline — became the cultivation goal for Chinese youth. Cultivating "Four Haves" youth is fundamental to continuing the socialist cause; the youth must shoulder historical missions and contribute to national rejuvenation.
Since the emergence of life, the struggle for survival has been constant, although at first it was only for the selfish replication of genes. But for humanity and civilization to exist in the world, survival is the primary task. To survive, plants constantly absorb nutrients, animals forage for food, and humans work. Darwin pointed out in "On the Origin of Species" that the primary goals of organisms are survival and reproduction. Human ancestors freed their hands by walking upright and developed tool-use abilities to obtain food and defend against predators. The evolution of the immune system is to fight pathogens and maintain life. If survival were not the primary task, species would not adapt to the environment and would become extinct. When people are hungry and thirsty, the hypothalamus regulates feeding behavior to ensure energy intake. When encountering pain and fear, pain reflexes make people avoid harm, and fear hormones (such as adrenaline) trigger the "fight or flight" response. When rest is needed, the brain repairs neurons through sleep to maintain metabolic balance.
