Features: As one of the origins of Chinese civilization, the Qilu culture has nurtured ancient sages, virtuous men, and noble figures, and has also nurtured over one million Qilu overseas compatriots scattered across more than ninety countries and regions around the world. They are either thriving in the business and industrial sectors, excelling in academic forums, or renowned in the fields of culture and arts. Behind every successful individual, there are deeply moving stories. Perhaps from the perspective of an individual success story, there are specific opportunities and conditions, but when we gather these success stories together, we cannot help but strongly feel the shared national spirit of vigor, perseverance, generosity, and integrity they embody, which has grown stronger over time.
The purpose of this series is to record the life trajectories and personal charm of successful overseas compatriots, and to spread the national spirit and Chinese culture they uphold. This book primarily tells the life story of Kong Xianduo, a descendant of Confucius. Kong Xianduo is the 72nd generation descendant of Confucius and has served as the Academic Vice President of the University of Maryland, College Park, and the Academic Vice President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
