Features: As one of the origins of Chinese civilization, Qilu culture has nurtured ancient sages, upright scholars, and noble figures. It also nourishes over one million Qilu overseas compatriots who are scattered across more than ninety countries and regions around the world. They may excel in the business and industrial sectors, dominate academic forums, or achieve fame in the realms of culture and arts. Behind every successful individual, there are deeply moving stories. Perhaps from the perspective of a successful individual, there are specific opportunities and conditions. However, 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 grows stronger over time.
The purpose of this series is to record the life trajectories and personal charm of successful overseas compatriots, spreading 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, USA, and the Academic Vice President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Among these, My Ten Years at HKUST has been purchased by Harvard scholar Ding Xueliang in large quantities to distribute to friends, and it has been read three times cover to cover by Zhang Weiyi, Vice Dean of the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University.
