Confucius is confusing…

August 4, 2011 By Jordan

The highlight from my recent guest lecture on 20th century literature at a fancy institute of book learnin’ here in South China:

Student #1: Hemingway talk about facing the struggle, like Confusing.

Me: “Confucius”

S#1: Yes, Confusing.

Me: “Confucius”

S#1: Sorry?

Me: Not as much as me.

S#1: Ummm…maybe you don’t know China history.
