Yes, I am a big fan of
reading historical stories. When I was a little boy, I always took some
historical books from my father's bookshelf and read the historical events. I
feel that history not only can cultivate my mental development, but also give
me a better picture of human society.
Personally I am fond
of the Battle of Red Cliffs happened in the early period of Three Kingdoms,
which was a decisive battle at the end of the Han Dynasty. It was also the
typical battle in Chinese history renowned for the fewer and weaker defeating
the more and stronger.
Yes, the main factor
is that like our native language, history forms a cultural identity and keeps a
unique record of country, and also we can learn the experiences from history to
correct our current actions.
Yes, I enjoy watching
some documentaries about history on TV because I can see a lot of video
materials that can not bee seen in the textbooks. I always watch them at home
during my time off with my son to learn something about history.
I don't feel that
watching the current TV series can make you be aware of the history, you know,
TV programmes are more engaging than books, however the true historical events
in most of the TV series have been distorted by the producers to cater for the
audience. It's really shame as the young people will misunderstand the history
by these irresponsible productions.
Yes. History is full
of debates so you can find both of the two sides of opinion online which will
help you be aware of the true facts and think critically. I always google some
engaging historical materials about the Song Dynasty, for example, to know
about the truth.
The people I'd like to
learn about is Wu Chengen, the author of A Journey to the West. He combined the
folk tales and his own imagination to write the great fairy story in the 16th
century. I want to know about his personality as much as possible and I believe
that his imagination is what is lack of nowadays.
