Confucian

On today's class one classmate presented her research paper about Confucian. She attempts to interpret the Confucian with western children's books. I felt so surprised and was wondering how she could combine the east culture-the Confucian, with the west culture.

One book she mentioned is "Anne Hutchinson's Way" written by Jeannien Arkins. In this book Anne Hutchinson preaches in a different way from the minister of church. Even though she is attacked and charged with the crime of disturbing the peace of the colony, she refuses to give up her belief.

From the Confucian's point of view, she is great and a superior "woman". She has her own personality and perseveres in her right thought. In my childhood I read lots of similar stories from Chinese and West Countries.

One of them is about Copernicus and his model: sun-centered solar system. Have you read similar stories about "Superior man"?
