Confucius was born into poverty during a chaotic period of China's history, but he became determined at a young age to live the life of a scholar. He spent the entirety of his life determining--and trying to live up to--the perfect model of human behavior, and founded his own philosophical school.
生於亂世的孔子，出身清苦，但年少時就立志向學，終其一生致力於思考和實踐為「人」的完美典型，思想學說自成一家。
