Confucius. Conversations with a lonely sage

Or maybe he was just a philosopher, tired of negligent students, from the rejection of his ideas, because the world never followed him?

A wise, meditative and instructive story from the famous Russian Chinese, the head of the School of Oriental Studies of the Higher School of Eastern Establishment, director of the Institute of the Far East of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexei Maslov
