and Chinese Civilization

Abstract: So far some papers in the
project have been published at home and abroad, including “Benjamin
Franklin and the Great Wall of China,” “Benjamin Franklin and
Chinese Civilization,” and “Benjamin Franklin and China: A Survey
of Benjamin Franklin’s Efforts at Drawing Positive Elements from
Chinese Civilization during the Formative Age of the United
States.” This pioneering research has won me international repute.
Some of my published papers have been translated into international
languages including Italian and Chinese. In the meantime I have
also been invited to present my research results, such as Benjamin
Franklin and Confucius Moral Philosophy, and The Founding Fathers
of the United States and Chinese Civilization in China, Italy and
Portugal in addition to the United States.
