Reading History

During the Second World War, the famous British Prime Minster Churchill leaded his countrymen to fight and won the war. He always told university student to read more history to achieve knowledge. It is indeed that we can learn many things from past history which is a mirror to reflect our future. As historian said that history has repeated again and again.
If we study history deeply, our wisdom will be surely promoted to a high level. As from history, we learn from people who were so clever to solve things of difficultly and also we know many people are doing things of foolishness unknowingly.
Especially in the plays written by famous writer Shakespeare, we all know that the characters of Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth were all clever people. But they all did foolish and stupid things which resulted tragedy in the end. We should learn from them to avoid our mistakes in our life time.
We, should, of course, know past history of Chinese dynasty. Those dynasties started from Shang and passed down to Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Ching and up to now.
We are ordinary people who are not worthy to be recorded in history stage. But, we are a human who is still a historic figure in our family. If possible, we should do something good to let our descendants to memorize the deeds of us. If we cannot be a big tree, be a small grass to shine our life in the circle of family which will remember us when one day we are gone.
