Despite numerous hardships throughout his life, he remained steadfast in his aspirations. In his early years, he served in Lu’s government, but due to political turmoil and the difficulty of promoting his philosophy, he led his disciples to travel around various states and propagate Confucian thought centered on "benevolence". However, wherever he went, though respected, he never found practical application. In his later years, he returned to Lu, where he continued to face indifference but remained committed to his ideals, dedicating himself to education and writing. After his death, his disciples compiled his teachings and lived by them, ensuring Confucius' ideas transcended eras and endured through the ages.

It is a key production created by Shandong Province in accordance with the "Learn Classics with MiniDramas" creation plan of the National Radio and Television Administration, and is also a high-quality project supported by the Radio and Television Administration of Shandong Province in 2024.
