Confucius Birthday (Teachers' day)

Confucius is the most important philosophers in the whole Chinese history.  He has a strong influence on how Chinese people think and act from 2500 years ago till now.  He promotes loyalty, kindness, justice and charity.

He is widely respected in Chinese community and his birthday is celebrated in China, not so much in Hong Kong.
