"The major you choose is what you like, and you can become a leader in all walks of life. You didn't say that you can't learn from the Germans, nor did you say that China people can't do this research. Studying in Germany, your interest is very important. If you choose a major you don't like in order to find a good job in the future, you won't have the motivation to study in Germany, but the freedom of studying in Germany is entirely your own plan. Without motivation, you will never be able to study independently, which is a common problem of many students in China.

There are also many kinds of history, divided by time period and region. I don't know what you want to learn. According to categories, music history, art history and even many ancient histories are combined with archaeology. So there's a lot to learn. Schools with better history majors: University of Freiburg, University of Heidelberg, University of Mannheim and University of Constance. "
