“History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books – books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, ‘What is history, but a fable agreed upon?’ By its very nature, history is always a one-sided account.”

「歷史總是贏家寫的。兩權相爭，敗者消聲滅跡，勝者則提筆寫起史書來，稱揚己德，並貶抑亡徒。拿破崙就曾說過，歷史不過是眾人認同的虛構。從本質處看，歷史永遠是片面之詞。」

History is made, indeed, but it is not without validity!

Well, I agree to what extent. But let me remind you one thing: no matter what history there is, you wouldn't be able to survive were it anything but useful. History matters only if it could be condusive to our survival. You can fabricate that the japanese never invaded the other countries, or Nazi was not the murderer of jews in WWII. Wait and see what will happen in the future to come if such historical interpretation prevails. The usefulness in the long run decides which nominee will win. That's why we believe that Moses led his people to the promising land and Armstrong landed on Moon.

History is made, indeed, but it is not without validity!
