I have a double degree in English language, literature and history.

Tell me about my own experience in studying history. In my alma mater, Nankai, it is very difficult to double major. It is impossible to repeat successfully by paying for lectures.

At that time, the idea of a double degree was relatively simple, because obviously, a history degree would not add too many chips to the job search. On the one hand, I am interested in history, on the other hand, I want to be more humanistic.

I just walked into the history school stupefied, and I was shocked. The atmosphere of this college is completely different from that of the Foreign Languages Institute, and the research style is also very rigorous. In this boring introduction to history class, there is a class in which students and teachers argue whether the winner has written history.

Both sides of the argument are all kinds of allusions and quotations, which makes me dumbfounded.

Because studying history is purely an interest, unlike some students in history colleges, if they devote themselves to American history, they will try their best to choose more courses related to American history, while I will try my best to cover a wide range, including American history, Japanese history, World War II history, Roman history, Chinese and Western cultural exchange history, European international relations history, Russian history and Latin American history.

Wandering proudly in the long river of human civilization with the mentality of listening to stories.

I gradually began to realize that studying history is human instinct, and most people will be interested in the past. When a person is strong, he will want to know what his past is like.

In fact, everyone is eager to know how the world we live in was discovered step by step, and what thrilling, epic, absurd or shocking stories happened in this land under our feet.

I gradually feel that my understanding of the world is getting clearer and more stereoscopic.

Gradually, when chatting with friends, I can also quote classics and classics.

In the last Byzantine history class, the teacher asked me to sum up my feelings in one sentence.

When I casually said "Byzantium is a light from classical civilization to the Middle Ages" and won the praise of my classmates, I didn't know how I summed it up.

So far, although I have a degree, I am still a layman. I don't know much about reading history and haven't seen the door yet.

History has never brought me anything, but reading history has become a habit.

I always felt that I just inspired human instinct in history school.

This is the experience.
