•  Kung Xianduo - Descendant of Confucius keeps his promise to educate
    Formerly the VP of the University of Maryland and HK U of Science and Technology, Kung Xian-duo has dedicated his life to learning, not only of others, but also his own. He is considered an important leader in education, and has made important commentaries on the distinction between western and eastern education. Appropriately, he is ALSO a direct descendant of Confucius. Could it be that the renowned blood of the famous philosopher runs so thick 72 generations after?
