Meeting Confucius: A Tunisian sinologist's journey of learning and reflection

04:19

Ben Khalifa Fadwa, a young sinologist from Tunisia, came to China with one goal, and found a lifelong calling shaped by Confucius. From discovering Chinese poetry in high school to drawing inspiration for her PhD from a statue of Confucius, she reflects on how the Confucian values of compassion, learning and duty resonate deeply across cultures. "Learning is a lifetime thing. You never stop learning," she says. Now, she hopes to take this enduring spirit of inquiry and connection back to her students in Tunisia.
