参考范文:
Dear Peter,
I hope this letter finds you well. l am writing to recommend a remarkable figuire from ancient China-Confucius. As a philosopher and educator, his teachings profoundly shaped Chinese culture and ethics.

Confucius emphasized virtues like benevolence, righteousness, and respect for tradition. His ideas on education (e.g., “teaching students according to their aptitude”) remain influential today. Moreover, his concept of harmony in society and family relationships continues to quide millions. By studying his life, you will gain insights into China’s intellectual heritage and the values that stillresonate globally.

I believe learning about Confucius will enrich your understanding of Eastern philosophy. Let me know your thoughts!Best regards,
Li Lei
