I also know some girls studying history in China. They are only in a middle school, but if they talk about Bai Yuan, Han Xin and Xiao Yan, they are all handy. Raise bowls of lilies on the windowsill at home and buy snails from the market to remove algae. I talked with them several times, watching them talk about Yuan Mei from Li Yu, and discussing that the chapter of Mei Dingzuo engraved with "Elegant and Romantic" is simply narcissism, and I find it more and more difficult to match. Finally, I can only admit that as far as undergraduate study is concerned, studying history in China is far more profound and broad than studying history in the United States. But I never regretted choosing America-if I had never been to America, I wouldn't be who I am now. A tutor who studied the history of Qin and Han dynasties didn't even finish reading the historical records. He is most proud of being an egalitarian, not being recorded as an honorary student. This is probably what American liberal arts education gave me. Joseph said in Who Killed Liberal Education that liberal education has long been divorced from itself and vocational education, and the essence of liberal education is to seek goodness, not to apply for a job. My undergraduate education has hardly brought me any skills suitable for finding a job. I can't be an analyst and an actuary. My calculus is still at the high school level, let alone engineering. In other words, after graduation, I may be the last person among all my classmates to find a job. So I am probably more suitable to talk about liberal arts than most foreign students in China. I dare not say that I am a history major. More generally, I introduce myself as a social science major. I have read Su Wei Tonius, Sima Qian Ban Gu, John Locke, Marx, Liang Shuming, Hu Shi and ruth benedict. I went back and forth between history, anthropology, political theory and sociology, and finally found that they are in perfect harmony, regardless of you and me, constantly tormenting others' inner satisfaction and peace. It's like the last six-page paper in the political class that year, which discussed Dirty-handsProblem (willingness to use unfair means for political legitimate purposes). This is a completely different experience from physical operation, mathematical reasoning and chemical reaction. Writing itself is a torture of itself: Is Coventry's sacrifice worth it? If the essence of sovereignty is a collection of countless human rights, when will sovereignty be higher than human rights? If the minority obeys the majority in order to protect the interests of the majority, I wrote that paper for a whole week without referring to any external information. Finally, at three o'clock in the morning. I turned off the computer and almost died in bed. The body is extremely tired, but the brain is extremely excited It seems that a corner of my heart has been completed. I have constructed an extremely important part of the world outlook, but it has nothing to do with the whole world. Four hours later, the sun will still rise, and the spaghetti downstairs is as sweet as ever-even my roommate's behavior of frying steamed bread every Thursday morning has not been affected at all. It was from that day on that I realized that the "integrity" of my life was less dependent on the outside world than I thought. Material beauty can be replaced, just as you can't afford CK perfume, so it is probably the same to use the whole bottle of Six Gods. However, spiritual perfection can only be accomplished by yourself. Last year1February, a girl transferred from China invited me to dinner. At the dinner table, she bit her chopsticks and asked me, "... I chose sociology mainly because this direction has the most transfer credits, so I chose it for graduation in two years." I'm not saying that sociology is bad, but every time I think about looking for a job in the future, it bothers me. After all, the salary is too low ... so I just want to ask you, don't you study history and don't think about those very practical problems? "I remember saying that most people who study social sciences are like this. Choose this major, in fact, you have to bear everything he gives you. If you are still hesitant, you can consider changing your major. だ? What a waste? )
