103"The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives."

History is the process that society of human being has been born and developing. The study of history can give us some suggestion, when we have to do some choices. Therefore, someone considers that the study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily life. But, the functions of researching history are not only to guide our daily life. There are some people in this world who like to search the truth of history, even if the history has no meaning for their life. In my opinion, history, as a main subject, no matter whether it is relevant to our life, is worth to do deeply research.

Indubitable, history, which can guide our life, is valuable to study. A common people, living in the modern society, would always meet some choices, and some of them cannot be solved by his own experience. At that time, he may gain some advice in history. History is the cumulating of forerunners' experience. And from history, we can easily find some conditions that are similar to our question. Although those experiences are not always right or useful for our handicap, they help us to take fewer detours. For instance, when a young man graduates from university, he may have two absolutely different directions: the first one, he can find a good job and earn some money earlier; the second one, he can go on his study to get a master degree. In this condition, it is possible that he cannot make a choice easily. Then, history could give him some clews. There are many, many successful people in history who face to the same question, some people choose the first one, and others choose the last one. The people can combine the experience of predecessor and his true condition, and obtain an answer which one is more suits for him. So, the history related to our life is very useful.

While, the history, which is not direct correlative with our daily life, is also worth to do researched. In history, many people and their stories move us, and encourage us to keep on going. Ludwig van Beethoven, the most famous musician in music history, has a very rough life. In his old age, even he was deaf. However, he never gives up his music career. In that condition, he composed a great symphony-the third symphony: Eroica. Maybe, his life has no direct contact to us, but it can provide us a kind of spiritual strength. His history tells us there is no difficulty which cannot be overcome.

Moreover, there are other kinds of history which are inconnected with our daily life but worth to study. Those history are buried deeply into the earth, and only minimal people can memory them. For example, the period of European renaissance is far away from us, and we can have a well life, even though we don't know about it. But, many historians try their best to research that history. Why? It is worthy. In that era, many famous or unfamous people put their novel thought to common people; rebuild new kinds of thinking system. We should not forget this history. Herein, we shouldn't do research about the history relevant to our daily life.

To sum up, history is the truly happened affairs, no matter whether it relevant to our daily life or not, it deserves to memory, to study.daily life or not, it deserves to memory, to study.
