East and West: Reflections of the 79th Generation Descendent of Confucius

East and West: Reflections of the 79th Generation Descendent of Confucius

By The Kong Academy

Overview

One story bridging two worlds — modern reflections from the 79th-generation descendant of Confucius.

East and West: Between Two Worlds are the reflections of the 79th-generation descendant of Confucius.

What does it mean to inherit a 2,500-year-old legacy in a world that changes by the minute?

In this evening talk, James Kong — educator, coach, and the 79th-generation descendant of Confucius — shares an honest and deeply personal look at what it means to grow up between two cultures, to balance heritage with modern life, and to search for meaning in an age of constant noise and pressure.

Blending story, philosophy, and reflection, this session offers a rare space to pause, think clearly, and explore how ancient wisdom can help us live with clarity, confidence, and purpose today.
