   Everything is secret in China. In the end, they'll try to just kill him.

   Why isn't CCP dead yet? **sigh**

   i thought the guy was somethin of a chinese patriot trying to make the government BETTER nota threat to it, but someone trying to mold it into something better.

   Confucious said the most dangerous phrase is "what is the fun in being prince if you can't do what you want without anyone criticizing you" he said this is dangerous because if no one criticizes your mistakes you will continue to make them and that makes you a very bad prince.

   Actually the most chinese people are really helpful but if that happens as result I don't wonder if nobody wants to help anymore.

   you know what's ironic? Confucius was thrown stones back in the day by Governments, too.

   China = fail

   okay, he wasn't literally thrown stones at, but here; one of few essay I found that's quite accurate:
   http://www.san.beck.org/CONFUCIUS1-Life.html

   In his late fifties Confucius left the state of Lu to travel to other states in order to see if he could advise other rulers to put his principles into practice. Mencius wrote that he departed because the duke was not following his counsel; [...]

   While he was traveling through Song, Huan Tui, the Song Minister of War, attempted to intercept and assassinate him.

   [...]

   In Chen he apparently did not get a chance to talk with the duke because they were embroiled in wars at the time but Confucius did have a brief interview with the Minister of Crime concerning propriety.33 Mencius wrote that the reason Confucius had a difficult time here was because neither the rulers nor the minister communicated with him.34 While in Chen, Confucius wanted to go back to Lu because he said the disciples there were becoming "headstrong and careless."35 Why did he travel from place to place? One disrespectful man asked him if it was not to show off that he was a clever talker; but Confucius denied it, saying he did not like obstinacy.36 In other words, instead of stubbornly trying to improve a ruler against his will, he preferred to move on. The only ruler who seemed to consider virtue as important was the Duke of She in the small state of Cai.37 Apparently Confucius did go to see him because they did converse briefly.38
