Western-Chinese Business: Steve Jobs vs Confucius
What is the difference between a Chinese and Western hero? There is a big difference; knowing the difference tells you much about how Chinese think about life and about work (and more).
Chinese culture is a rules-obeying, process oriented culture, Western culture is a law-obeying, results oriented culture. What do you do when your Chinese partner thinks how you do things (process) is more important than what gets done (results)?

Searching For Confucius
Does Confucianism have relevance today or was it simply a tool of the elite to repress the underclass?
For 2,500 years Confucius has cast a long and tantalizing shadow. So influential and pragmatic is his philosophy that anyone of Chinese origin must have some knowledge of this ancient sage's work to truly understand their heritage. For the rest of humanity, whether realized or not, the old philosopher has left his mark on just about everyone's way of thinking.
This hour-long documentary tells the story of a modern day quest to rediscover Confucius by examining his life and times. The program's host, Canadian-born writer Wayson Choy, grew up in an immigrant household where Confucian principles were strictly adhered. Such tradition brought suffering to a family struggling to make its way in an alien world, but it also produced a strong backbone, self-discipline and an important code of behavior.
Wayson travels to China, the homeland of his parents, where he walks in Confucius' footsteps. He travels to a cave in the village of Zouyi where Confucius was born over 2,500 years ago and completes the journey at the Confucius Cemetery where the philosopher died in 479 B.C. It's a dramatic, picturesque and exciting journey. Along the way, our host talks with authorities on Confucius philosophy as well as ordinary people.
We learn that Confucius was the first private teacher in China who believed that education makes the man; that adhering to one's ethics is more important than position, wealth and even life. It was Confucius' Golden Rule that first insisted, "Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you."
