During the chaotic Warring States Period (475–221 BC), when China was divided into numerous small states locked in endless conflict and power struggle, one man spoke for peace and universal love among humankind. This was the philosopher Mo Zi. As he traveled from state to state to spread his message, Mo Zi stressed the importance of respect, caring for others and many other practical virtues that are still relevant today, more than 2,000 years later.
