Confucius once said, "Isn't it a joy to have friends come from afar?" At the Nishan World Civilization Forum in Qufu, that spirit comes alive. In this episode, CGTN's Merna traces how Confucian thought still surrounds us, from ancient halls to modern minds. With creators from the U.S. and India, we explore how the Analects inspire reflection, connection and a shared search for harmony across cultures.
