How many descendants does Confucius have now? What is the name of the famous grandson of the 76th generation? How many generations now? Great gods, help!

In 2560, to celebrate Confucius' birthday, the state invested heavily in updating Confucius' genealogy, and the whole updating process lasted 10 years from data collection to genealogy completion. This is the first update of Confucius' genealogy since the founding of the People's Republic of China and the fifth update in history. The new edition of Confucius Genealogy, with nearly 40,000 pages and 80 volumes bound, is the largest genealogy in the world at present. Now many rich people have begun to compile genealogy, but in any case they can't keep up with Confucius' genealogy, because the genealogy of his old man's house has always been loved by the imperial courts and governments of past dynasties, and most people can't keep up with the state's attention no matter how rich they are. Since 1937, the total population of descendants of Confucius has tripled. The descendants of Confucius have multiplied to the 83rd generation. The total population of descendants of Confucius included in the new genealogy has exceeded 2 million. For the first time, the new genealogy renewed this time included female ethnic groups, and became descendants of Confucius from Hui, Miao, Shui, Tibetan, Hani and other ethnic minorities and nearly 40,000 descendants of Confucius living abroad due to intermarriage and other factors. Confucius is not only a great man in China, but also a celebrity in the world. But are there any celebrities among his descendants? Especially, are there any celebrities among his 2 million descendants now? I searched the Internet, and several familiar names appeared, showing that they were the grandchildren of Confucius. I'm not sure about the authenticity of these materials, but I can provide them for your reference: Kong Linghua, son of General Kong Congzhou, son-in-law of Chairman Mao and deputy commander of the 75th generation artillery of Confucius. Kong Linghua, the grandson of the 76th generation, worked in the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and later went to Shenzhen. He died of a heart attack on 1999. His wife CoCo Lee is the eldest daughter of Chairman Mao and the most popular descendant of Chairman Mao. Kong Quan, former spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, assistant foreign minister and now Chinese ambassador to France, is also a descendant of Confucius. According to the information on the Internet, he is the 76th generation grandson of Confucius, but his father Mai Kong did not show that he is the 75th generation grandson of Confucius. As the former director of Xinhua News Agency in Tokyo, Mai Kong also has a certain social status, which is not very understandable. Kong Huiling, the world table tennis champion, is also the 76th generation grandson of Confucius. Kong Lingjie, now renamed Kong Jie, is the 76th generation grandson of Confucius, a master of Jiuduan Weiqi in China. It seems that the descendants of Confucius have all kinds of industries! A 2560-year-old family produces a great man with indomitable spirit, which can benefit 83 generations of descendants. Moreover, no matter how hard later generations try, they will never be able to create great achievements like their ancestors. Look at the history of China. Are all great families like this?
