When we are talking something that related to history, we may hold our own opinion to the same event, even if the opinion might be extremely different, we still treat our own opinion as reasonable thinking. The same condition we can see when a period of history is being written.

Just taking the history of the struggle time during the anti-Japanese war for a suasive example.
The war ended at 1945, almost 70 years passed , I learnt from internet that the text in Japanese history book says that it were Chinese who started the war and who wanted to invade Japan. A student in primary school, whose father is a Japanese and mother is a Chinese, told his mother that he hated Chinese from bottom of his heart. What was more ridiculous, when his mother told him his mother is a Chinese. He said without any doubt: I wish that when mosquitos bite me just let it suck away my Chinese blood! We won the war but what did those Japanese historian do when they publishing the textbook? There was a saying from Vladimir Lenin:” Forgetting the past means betrayal.” In our textbook truth is described equitably. Who was winner, who was loser, we can tell from the attitudes that they treating the history.

We should treat history fairly; reality and truth can never be changed no matter how hard someone tried. When we Chinese recall that period of history，besides the broken-hearted felling and the sorrowful tears, we still have the furious mind to their behaviors. Losers do not want to admit the deviltry they had done, whilst winners take that period of time seriously.
