If Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake there would be a lot of candles He＇d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day few westerners will give him a passing thought It＇s nothing personal Most westerners don＇t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes
