Confucius’ ancient teachings are making waves in 2025! 🌊 Alfred Hornung, a renowned scholar and member of Academia Europaea, called the philosopher’s ideas “timeless guides for modern challenges” during the 2025 International Forum on Mutual Learning Among Civilizations in Macao this week. Over 50 global leaders and experts from 10+ countries gathered to discuss cultural exchange – and Confucianism stole the spotlight.
💡 Hornung emphasized how concepts like “harmony without uniformity” could help bridge today’s political and cultural divides. His speech went viral among young academics, with #ConfuciusTikTok trending as users remix his quotes over lo-fi beats. 🎶
The forum comes as Macao marks 26 years since its return to China, showcasing the region’s growing role in global dialogue. With U.S. and European delegates joining Asian counterparts, the event proves ancient wisdom still has a seat at 2025’s table. 🪑✨
