The 2024 China International Confucius Cultural Festival kicks off in Qufu, Shandong Province, on September 27, honoring 2,575 years of the philosopher's legacy. But how does his wisdom resonate globally? 🏛️✨
CGTN Stringer hit the streets of South Africa to find out. Clea Schultz Mofokeng drew a vibrant parallel between Confucius' principle of 'ren' (benevolence) and South Africa's Ubuntu philosophy, which emphasizes communal kindness. 💬 "It's about seeing humanity in others," she shared.
Meanwhile, Greta Frieslaar highlighted Confucius' timeless call for accessible education: "Learning transforms societies—that idea is as urgent now as it was 2,500 years ago." 🎓🌱
From ancient virtues to modern bridges, this cultural exchange proves ideas can span continents—and millennia. 🤝
