The 2024 China International Confucius Cultural Festival in Qufu, east China's Shandong Province, is set to begin on September 27, celebrating 2,575 years since the birth of the Chinese philosopher.
In a recent visit to South Africa, CGTN Stringer explored how Confucianism resonates with local values. Clea Schultz Mofokeng highlighted that the Confucian virtue of \"ren\" or benevolence closely mirrors the South African philosophy of Ubuntu, which emphasizes kindness towards others. Another interviewee, Greta Frieslaar, expressed her support for universal access to education, a cause Confucius advocated over 2,500 years ago. 🌍💬✨
