Everyone knows that Confucius had a brilliant life, but few people know what his son has achieved. My interest in The Son of Confucius stems from a visit to Confucius Forest. Konglin is the tomb of Confucius and his descendants. After the death of Confucius, his disciples buried him in the place where he returned to Shandong to give lectures in his later years, which is now Qufu, Shandong. After passing several archways and gatehouses, I finally saw the tomb of Confucius. The mausoleum is not big, but due to the title added by Confucius, the specifications of the ancillary buildings of the mausoleum are very high. The emperor's pavilion, the century-old wood, the weeping memorial tablet, the small house guarding the tomb in Zigong, and even the flowers and birds, all brought people to that war-torn era, reminding people of an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes.

He is well-read, intelligent and ugly. He was a small official who kept warehouses, raised horses and acted as prime minister. He also had sexual and drastic reforms in Shandong, but they all failed later. So he took his disciples and ran to more than a dozen countries with the ideal of courtesy, justice and shame. After more than ten years of lobbying, he still failed. In the end, he chose to educate and train the next generation to succeed him, and promoted this ideal from generation to generation, and finally succeeded, which became China's orthodox thought, influenced the history of China for thousands of years, and constructed the psychology and thinking mode of China people. On the southwest side of the tomb of Confucius is the grandson of Confucius. His name is Kongche, and the dust in the cave faded, which just blocked the trace of uranium in the school. He was also a teacher of Mencius and the author of the Doctrine of the Mean, and was later posthumously named Hou of Surabaya. Confucius was made king, and to the south of Confucius' tomb is his son's tomb. The overall pattern of Confucius tomb is called holding children and grandchildren, which is very meaningful.

Our protagonist is called Kong Li. We have this name now because when Kong Li was born, the monarch of Lu and Duke Zhao of Lu sent someone to give Confucius a red carp. Up to now, Qufu people are not called carp carp, but red fish. Life in Kong Li seems simple, that is, taking care of Confucius' family and doing housework while traveling around the world, so that Confucius can lobby other countries without worries. Confucius said a famous saying when he returned to Shandong. These seem to be historical records about Kong Li. However, what I want to say is this unforgettable famous saying, which makes us have to re-evaluate Kong Li's achievements. Needless to say, Confucius' achievement, Zisi (the grandson of Confucius and the son of Kong Li) is the teacher of the sage Mencius and the author of The Doctrine of the Mean. Only Kong Li, whose only achievement is that he is the son of Confucius and the father of Zisi, seems to be a joke. It is said that after Confucius returned to Shandong, three generations of descendants of Confucius chatted with Kong Chang. At this moment, Kong Li said to Confucius, the world-famous father, "Your son is not as good as mine". Then, he turned his head to his talented son and said, "Your father is not as good as mine.". As you can imagine, after Kong Li finished this sentence, it would be three later generations laughing. But we should see that there should be bitterness and reflection behind laughter. In order to achieve Confucius' great achievements and let Confucius have no worries, he chose ordinary and sacrificed.

"Your son is not as good as my son, and your father is not as good as my father." Humor reveals the mind of taking care of the overall situation, giving up the ego to complete the ego's ideal and seeking truth from facts. This sentence is like a poem, reflecting the author's mood. In this sentence, Kong Li is actually telling us that the achievements of Confucius and Zisi are not just their personal achievements. There are many such people in life. They belong to the same kind of people. They support others' seemingly great achievements with their seemingly small achievements. They are neither humble nor supercilious, seeking truth from facts, and pursuing the perfection of personality in the ordinary. Their achievement is a whole, because every part is small. Optimism, stability and love become the qualities that accompany them. They are optimistic but don't despise difficulties, they are steady but not short of foresight, they are caring but don't lose big because of small. How many people in life are ambitious but unrealistic, how many people are full of ideals but disdain small things, and how many people are brilliant but headstrong. In life, we often regard our own destiny as too beautiful, our own career as too great, our behavior as too harsh, and ourselves as too self-centered, ignoring the whole thing, the meaning behind the whole life, and making ourselves lost in persistence.

Yes, in the eyes of historians, Kong Li did not achieve much. He just gave birth to a good son and supported Confucius' parents. However, in the social life, his achievements surpassed those of Confucius, reflecting the extraordinary achievements of ordinary people in China-the achievements of others. This is a realm, a kind of wisdom, and a kind of happiness. No matter what the background is, family, clan, court, school, company. The result is the same. Achieving others is one of your greatest achievements.
