There has been a powerful propaganda about the movie Confucius, which was put on from last week in Ningbo. We really expect the film has its own brilliance.

　　At the premiere of Confucius held in Times Cinema, a group of students are reading aloud The Analects and Standards for Students so that the audience can experience Chinese traditional Confucian Culture before the film is put on.

　　The film Confucius is directed by Hu Mei, who once directed Yongzheng Dynasty and Courtyard of Family Qiao. Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xun, Chen Jianbing and Ren Quan play roles in the film, which is about the story of Confucius who is then at the age of 51 when he becomes an official. At the beginning of the story, Confucius takes advantage of his wisdom in establishing an alliance between Lu and Qi. Confucius and his followers then travel through all the kingdoms in a long spell of fourteen years, spreading his thoughts, which have become the source of Chinese National Spirit.
