National History In China, we have to take a course—history, which is our required course. However, most of students still don’t emphasize history and think Chinese, English and math are the key on studying. So history is ignored naturally. As far as I am concerned, history, especially national history, is necessary subject for every student as well as is never placed by other curriculum. As a student , or as a member of China, it is a duty to learn about own country’s history. And it’s more a civil duty than a student’s task to know the history. We are Chinese and understand the past is necessary, I think. Thus, I can’t stand that the intellectual don’t learn about history knowledge at all. In my opinion, national history, in some way, can strengthen the national awareness and responsibility. In addition, history experience can give us many idea and thought to develop a beautiful future effectively. Looking the departed experience, we would find that there are many faults that it needn’t have happened. Now, we know it and avoid it to occur again. Without history, country’s development will delay many year. Of course, happy and prosperous society, we are living, is impossible. In a word, history play an important role on development of country. It not only make us know what happened on the past, but teach us how to develop better.
