Not personally 
Was his philisophy basically people should do their duty to the community, and individual rights are secondary to that? Yes, I know, it is a very general summary, but it has been a while since I read the works attributed to him.

Heavens, no, if you are referring to the original language, just english translations, and that it has been a while since I last read anything attributed to him. I think that was the gist of his work though, that people should be bound by the duties of the community. If that is an oversimplification, I apologize, and await your correction.

I'm an American and I know of Confucius. He's a staple in World History and Philosophy classes. Right up there with Socrates and Plato and all those greek guys. I haven't actively studied him since high school, but I was never much into the teachings of ancient philosophers.
