"The purpose of education is completely different from the purpose of the party. Roughly speaking, the purpose of education is the development of a whole person, while the purpose of the party is the creation of the believer. Education is people-oriented, whereas the party is organization-oriented. In a party situation, if there is a conflict between the interests of the person and the organization, naturally the interests of the person must be sacrificed to the interests of the organization.

...... An ideal educated person, in terms of wisdom, at least to the limit, must have a correct and complete understanding of things and a spirit of independent confidence in his actions. To develop such a personality, the first need is intellectual curiosity. With intellectual curiosity, one is able to conduct independent research on a variety of issues or matters. The results of this research are the basis of our faith. This method of education, from the Party's standpoint, is the most dangerous. Their faith is already established; their problem is how to embrace it. Because the faith is to be embraced, there can be no free discussion and study; because there can be no free discussion and study, there can be no intellectual curiosity."
