Retiredbum notes:

How could a backward, poverty-stricken state like China in 1949 have been progressing to the nation of world second largest in economy(or the largest) and military power within less than 70 years?  The conventional spirit pertaining to "elite of Shi" is among the factors.  Shi, roughly the intellectuals, are almost always imbued with a noble mind of self-sacrifice, a strong desire of taking the responisiblity for rise and fall of their motherland.  Hence I do believe the doctrines of Confucius and Mencius will eventually gain the dominance over western indivialiam and liberalism. 

Attached below are an report and a video interview which tell the stories of the contribution given by two great scientists and patriots.  Kindly view them by yourself, thanks.
