Quite a few readers in the US or other countries may hear of Confucius (551-479 BC), but seldom know what kind of a person he really was. His ambition was to be an official, to serve a king, any king in any state of the ancient China. His famous words were “if the king wants an official die, the official must die willingly (without any question to know the reason).” This main theory of his was liked by all the subsequent emperors. That's why he became famous and were given many honorary titles.
In 501 BC, he at last became a high-rank official in Lu state. In 498 BC, he left Lu state, being not trusted any more by the king of Lu state. Then he traveled to a few other states, but were ignored by the kings there, and died in the failure of his political ambition. During the so-called cultural Revolution, Confucius was criticized and called a running-dog of sovereigns.
Nowadays, the communist government of China set up the so-called Confucius colleges in many foreign countries all over the world. They want to spread their communist ideas through Confucius colleges. It is really the cultural invasion. However, they never allow any foreigners to start such colleges or TV stations, or publish newspapers in China. Therefore, why we allow them to set up Confucius colleges here?
