Inspiration from Mencius - Celebrating the Splendour of Human Spirit

Mencius is an ancient philosopher with a modern spirit.

As a humanist, Mencius believed that a man's character is originally good, righteous and full of wisdom. All men, he added, have the capacity to do great things and attain wisdom, just like the sages. He also maintained that everyone possesses the capability to cultivate an upright character and an unrelenting spirit.

Mencius advocated the practice of benevolent governance. He stressed the importance of a benevolent government, insisting that the government existed for the people, and not vice versa.

His philosophy has undoubtedly stood the test of time.
