This question is even more meaningful in light of the fact that there is a genuine need felt in China\u003cbr\u003e for a return to its Confucian heritage and vision for purposes of sustaining societal harmonization and reconstructing\u003cbr\u003e cultural identity in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChung-ying Cheng\u003c\/strong\u003e, internationally known philosopher of East-West integration and a leading representative of Neo-Confucian philosophy in contemporary world, was born in 1935 in China, received his college education at National Taiwan University in Taipei with major in philosophy and literature.
