By Zhou Chuncai
New World Press
By means of illustrations, this book tells the story of how Confucius, an ordinary man, became ancient China's greatest thinker and educator, the founder of Confucianism and a "sage." Confucius was honored by later generations as a sage because his words, actions and thoughts were all incisively penetrating, and were completely in harmony with Chinese culture, including the philosophy and science of China. This book presents to the reader an image of the "sage" as a man of flesh and blood.
