MY ESSAY
There is a saying “When drinking water, remember it’s source” . I therefore share the writer’s concern about the importance of keeping national history.
In my opinion, the past of each country provides citizens with the best knowledge about the development of it’s own nation. Based on historic events, people today can learn precious lessons about the ancestors’s military and economic strategies to build and protect a better society. For instance, because of the key position of the South China Sea, the relation between Vietnam and China is getting more and more strained. Thank to past experiences, Vietnam has settled this conflict through diplomatic channels instead of wars. If Vietnam declared war against China, many people would be perished. National history prevents people from past wheel tracks
On the other hand, history also enrichs people’s mind by ancient cultures, which are close to habit and custom and have national characters. Futhermore, if the old cultures were roots, today cultures would be branches. It means that without history, the life of mind would seem very monotonous.To demonstate, line dance(dan vu) is the typical illustration for this. Malaysia has Rasa Sayang to tell the itinerary finding friends, while Soran Bushi from Japan describes the fight against monsters and diseases. Not only can ancient cultures dispel tiredness when working strenuously but also bring happy moments to employees.
In summary, people have to respect and preserve the past of their country to understand the difficulties as well as achivements that their forefather went throught and love the old national cultures.
