During my time in the Party, I always obeyed the instruction of the organization, even though the duties might be difficult or dangerous. We did not avoid tasks but tried to implement them effectively. Considering our work, we should give it our best try to benefit the country and nation. In life, we should be always honest and be considerate of all people.
