He says, ‘A historian must bear in mind the subjective nature of history. Nobody can declare that the history he wrote is authentic history. The best we can do is present history as we understand it. Studying history is like travelling back and forth between the past and the present. The more you understand history, the more clearly you can see the present.’ 短片：王笛教授暢談學習歷史的樂趣 Video: Prof Wang Di Discusses the Joy of Learning History umagazine issue 19 43
