Reading history makes people wise. A highly rated reviewer in the documentary "General History of China" wrote this:
The insignificance of human beings is like a drop in the ocean in the long river of history. Every understatement may be the magnificent life of the ancients. Those people are struggling, how can we, like Yumu, have a smooth journey? As the saying goes: Three thousand years of reading history is nothing more than fame and fortune; ninety thousand miles of enlightenment will eventually lead to poetry, wine and pastoral. Finally, I want to tell everyone that the Chinese people in the past all had one ultimate goal, which was to leave a name in history. The pages of history books you skip may record a person's magnificent life. Their life is too great. I dare not use more modifiers for fear of describing it poorly.
