Tang Xianzu was a towering literary figure of the late Ming dynasty in China. His thoughts on integrity and good governance were profoundly shaped by the Confucian culture he absorbed during his youth. The ideal of the “Confucian‑chivalric man” was the life goal to which Tang Xianzu aspired; the Confucian spirit of proactive striving, together with its emphasis on propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, endowed him with impartiality, uprightness, and strict self‑discipline. Meanwhile, the chivalric ethos rooted in “emotion” led him to govern with leniency and simplicity, placing people at the center of his administration—qualities that ultimately made him an exemplary official whose conduct could be held up before heaven, earth, and the spirits, and whose writings could bring peace and stability to the people and the state.

Years of passionate dedication and a journey of relentless striving. Lei Feng (December 18, 1940 – August 15, 1962), born Lei Zhengxing, was a soldier in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and a communist fighter. In 1940, Lei Feng was born into a poor peasant family in Hunan Province. By the autumn of 1947, his parents and older brother had tragically passed away one after another, leaving the seven-year-old Lei Feng an orphan. In 1954, he joined the Young Pioneers of China; in 1960, he enlisted in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, and in November of the same year, he became a member of the Communist Party of China. On August 15, 1962, Lei Feng died in the line of duty at the young age of 22.
