A famous historian once said: "It is sad to regard history as a profession!" On the one hand, it can be understood that history, as a humanities subject, its existence and development is of great significance to a country and a nation! But if you only regard it as a profession for which you seek fame, it is a kind of sorrow for you, because few people get ahead in the historical industry; It is also a kind of sorrow for history itself, because people who study history with such a mentality will not make any contribution to the development of history.
History is the subject with the fiercest conflict between ideal and reality among all disciplines. Therefore, if you want to choose a graduate student majoring in history, you must think carefully and make full preparations, which may reduce the pain between ideal and reality. The history major focuses on the training of thinking. If you want to achieve something, you must continue your studies.
