"Since the implementation of the reform and opening up, China has made substantial progress and significant achievements in ethics research, leading to the establishment of a well rounded discipline system and the development of a distinctive research tradition. While it is essential to uphold tradition, it is equally important to transcend it. In future ethics research, we should transcend the traditional approach dominated by learning and imitating Western philosophy and organizing historical materials, and progress towards a more advanced stage that emphasizes innovative development. The new generation of scholars should effectively utilize mainstream academic resources, especially the main spirit reflected therein. While showing respect and appreciation for the theoretical contributions of earlier generations of ethics scholars, they should expand their horizons to foster an ethics research pattern and atmosphere that align with the new era."
