This article, through the sketched history from the mid‐1940s to current, presents the dynamics of adult education in East Asia traditionally called social education, that has survived after lifelong learning has been adopted, assimilated, and dominates the whole pattern of practice. This article argues that the soul of adult education has been unfading in the changing landscape of lifelong learning in East Asia.
