The morning comes quickly because Lemon has slept like a rock. He wakes up remembering his dream: an effortless glide through golden gates guided by angles and eagles.

“Mum, dad, I need to talk to you,” says Lemon. “I’m leaving… I’m going to go find this paradise. I need to see it for myself. I want to feel the soil between my toes and taste the unknown insects.” 

His parents are quiet for a moment. They see in his eyes that this is very important, and they only want what is best for their child. 

His mother speaks first. “You are a sweet child, little Lemon. You have a wonderful mind, brave and curious. You know you’re always welcome here. Our nest is always open.” 

“Mum, of course I’m coming back! I love you two so much and this is my home.” 

Lemon’s father says, “It has been said that there comes a point in a bird’s life when he needs to go beyond the mountains… It happened to my father and my father’s father, but never for me. That time never came. I grew up during the worst winter in known history. I had to work and sacrifice—there was no time for adventures… so, go on, Lemon. Get out there and live your life!” 

“You are the best parents a bird could ever wish for!” 

And with those words, the family hugs, a long hug which, even though freezing winds rip past them, seems to warm them to their very bones.

The name “Confucius” might seem distant and boring. But Confucianism is integrated into the daily life of Chinese people. Have you ever thought that he Confucius was also a child who was confused, full of dreams and undisciplined like us? In this episode, let's start with Confucius and see who he is
孔子，好像是一个遥远而无聊的名词，又好像融入在中国人日常生活的点点滴滴。你可曾想过，他也是一个曾和我们一样，有着迷茫和困惑、梦想和不甘的有血有肉的孩子呢，这一期，让我们从孔子开始，看看他是谁
