\"How can the stream be so clear? It's because of the fresh water of its source.\" 🌱 These poetic words from 12th-century philosopher Zhu Xi aren't just ancient wisdom—they're the heartbeat of China’s modern identity. Join Turkish sinologist Giray Fidan as he traces Zhu Xi’s legacy from Sanming City’s misty mountains to today’s thriving tech hubs. 🏞️➡️🌆

Fidan’s journey reveals how this philosophy fuels everything from China’s eco-friendly city planning to its AI-driven economy.

Through village tea ceremonies and smart-city control rooms, Fidan discovers a China that treats ancient texts like software updates—continuously refining while keeping core systems intact. Think of it as the original 'Growth Mindset' meets 21st-century hustle. 💡🚀
