Confucius (孔子) is the greatest educator and philosopher (哲学家) in Chinese history. He was born on September 28, 551 BCE in the Kingdom of Lu, in today's Shandong province.
He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. When he was young, he and his mother lived a hard life. His mother brought him up alone because his father died when he was only three. Confucius showed his love for study early on. "At 15, I set my heart on learning," he later told his followers. At that time, only children from noble (贵族的) families could go to school but Confucius believed everyone should have a chance to get education whether they were rich or poor. He travelled widely in China and met with several adventures. Eventually, he returned to his hometown where he established his own school. He had about 3,000 students and many of them became famous.
As we all know, Confucius is a great thinker with wise thoughts. He said that young people should take care of the old and that people should be strict with himself, but kind to others. According to him, in teaching, there should be no class distinction (区别).
