以中史為主，世界歷史為副，讓學生放眼自己所屬的國家和世界，全面理解各國相互發展的進程，並且在明白世界文明一體化的同時，亦不失對自己國家歷史的深入認識，這對學生建立更廣闊完整的歷史觀和世界觀，培養對事物的客觀態度和對事理的分析能力，以至發揮個人對重要史事的識見，都有裨益。
By using Chinese history as the backbone and supplemented with world history students can look at their own country and the rest of the world to gain a comprehensive understanding of the development progress of various countries . In that case they will learn the integrated development of world culture without missing the chance of gaining an in - depth understanding of the history of their own country . All these help broaden students historical and global perspectives develop their objectivity and analytical power thereby enabling students to make good sense of key historical events
此外，綜合人文科把中史、歷史、地理等結合，以單元形式編整研讀，例如在主力教授中國古代文明孕育的課題上，學校除了可以教授有關三皇五帝的內容，更可一併加入中國河流等地理知識和甲骨文等文化元素。
Furthermore the teaching of Integrated Humanities which has combined Chinese History World History and Geography was designed in modular form . For instance in teaching the subject of ancient Chinese civilization apart from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors geographical knowledge of Chinese rivers and cultural elements such as oracle can also be incorporated
自由黨認為，有關的元素着實可以提高學生學習的興趣，達到綜合理解和豐富中國歷史學習內涵的目的。
The Liberal Party is of the view that these elements can enhance students interest in learning thereby achieving the objectives of attaining comprehensive understanding and enriching the learning of Chinese history
最後，自由黨必須指出，在強調學習中史並編製新課程內容時，教育局應該平衡學生讀書的壓力，千萬不要硬性把過多的內容強制在3年期內教授，更不應該把課程內容一加再加，致令學生因課程內容沉重而對有關的學科及課題產生厭倦感，最終得不償失。
Lastly the Liberal Party must point out while stressing the importance of learning Chinese history and compiling new curriculum content the Education Bureau should also balance this against the pressure of students in learning . Not only should it avoid mandatorily requiring the teaching of excessive contents within the three - year curriculum but should also refrain from increasing the curriculum contents time and again as students may become fed up with the heavy curriculum content and thus lose interest in the relevant subjects and topics therefore ending up with more loss than gain
說到中國歷史，還有近代史、文化史云云，但中共怎樣報道史實？
Speaking of Chinese history we also have contemporary history and cultural history but how will history be reported or taught by the Communist Party of China?
這項議案是關於"規定初中中國歷史獨立成科"。
This motion is on Requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject at junior secondary level
初中學生是剛由小學升上中學，就讀中一至中三的年輕人，正處於腦袋最發達的時期。
Junior secondary students are those who have just completed primary education and are now studying in Secondary One to Secondary Three which is a prime time of mental development
我們現在很擔心的一個課題，便是學校為學生進行過多操練，當局為何要再"搞"這個科目，"搞"出另一個教育議題？
Given that one of our major concerns at present is that students are subject to intensive drilling by schools why do the authorities stir up another education controversy again by re - introducing this subject?
所以，我反對原議案。
For the above reasons I oppose the original motion
歷史當然是非常重要的人文科學，而想當年在中學時代，中史在中一至中三是獨立成科的，同時亦是必須修讀的科目。
History is certainly a very important Humanities subject . During my secondary school days Chinese History was not only an independent subject from Form One to Form Three but was also made compulsory
讀好中史與愛國主義或民族主義是否一定成正比？
Is there a causal relation between having a good knowledge of Chinese history and patriotism or nationalism?
答案未必是一定的，因為歷史是非常客觀的學科，而歷史進程和歷史事件經過數百年、數千年流傳至今，資料未必齊全，所以很多學者對同一事件亦會有不同的看法。
The answer is not definite . As history is a very objective subject and given that history has progressed and historical events have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years the information may not be complete and hence scholars may have different views on the same historical event
修讀歷史對我們的益處，是可以增強我們的分析能力。
The benefit of studying history is that it enhances our analytical power
請各位議員核對所作的表決。
Will Members please check their votes
主席，唐太宗曾經說過，"夫以銅為鏡，可以正衣冠；以古為鏡，可以知興替"。
President Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said Using bronze as a mirror one can straighten his hat and clothes; using history as a mirror one can know the rise and fall of dynasties
其實，我們今天討論將中國歷史科獨立成科，本來就是天經地義的事情，但聽了郭家麒議員剛才的發言，我認為他只是上綱上線。
In fact our discussion today on requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject is perfectly justified but having heard the speech of Dr KWOK Ka - ki just now I think he is merely being hyperbolic
明明是在討論中國歷史，為何他突然要扯上劉曉波，又要扯上人大政改的決定？
While we are obviously talking about Chinese history why did he suddenly relate to LIU Xiaobo and even the decision on political reform made by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress?
今天資訊如此發達，學生隨時可在課堂內外自行選擇有關資料來討論。
In todays information - rich environment students can get the relevant information at any time for discussion inside or outside their classrooms
我們應否以郭家麒議員所說事情的爭拗為藉口或理由，不讓中史獨立成科呢？
Should we object to the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject for the reason or pretext of the controversies concerning the cases referred to by Dr KWOK Ka - ki?
我相信中國歷史上，有很多值得我們借鑒及避免犯上的過錯，對國家歷史上發生的不良情況作出批評，我相信是容許的。
I believe that in the history of China there were many wrongdoings that we should stay alert to and seek to avoid . To criticize negative historical events of our country is I believe allowed
但是，我們最少應該學懂如何客觀評價，了解原因和結果。
However we should at least learn to make objective comments and ascertain the reasons and outcomes
很多歷史故事其實十分有趣，例如元朝的版圖雖然很大，但由於不太懂得管治，所以元朝相當"短命"。
Many historical events are actually very interesting . For example despite its vast territory the Yuan Dynasty was rather short - lived due to poor governance
葉建源議員今天發言時提出一些憂慮，他擔心師資安排和教學時間能否配合，我明白這些是實際操作的問題，大家可以花時間再探討。
Mr IP Kin - yuen raised some concerns in his speech today saying that he is worried about the availability of teaching staff and teaching hours . I understand that these are operational problems and Members can spend time for further discussion
但是，我仍然認為，中史獨立成科需要有決心推動。
However I maintain that we must be determined to promote the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject
如果沒有決心將中史獨立成科，根本難以說服日後的人才投入這方面的教學工作，因為他們不知道這是否政府願意長遠承擔的項目。
If we are not determined to do so we can hardly persuade persons of ability to undertake teaching jobs in this regard in the future for they do not know whether the Government is committed to support this initiative in the long run
長遠而言，我認為中史獨立成科，有助推進教學質素，而且有一定必要。
In the long run teaching Chinese history as an independent subject will I believe be conducive to improving teaching quality which is a matter of necessity
主席，我認為認識自己的國家，本來就是天經地義的事情。
President I think it is naturally perfectly justified for us to know our country
學生嘗試返回內地，親身接觸一些 歷史文物，繼而了解中國歷史，本來是無可厚非的。
It is justifiable for students to return to the Mainland to personally appreciate historical relics and understand Chinese history
按照姚松炎議員的說法，學生應該進行一些實地考察，了解歷史和地理，那為何泛民議員又不斷狠批學生返回內地進行交流的活動呢？
According to Dr YIU Chung - yim students should conduct field studies to understand history and geography . In that case why do pan - democratic Members continuously berate students who return to the Mainland and engage in exchange activities?
其實，這些正是泛民自相矛盾的說法。
As a matter of fact such remarks made by the pan - democrats are self - contradictory
主席，我仍然相信有系統地教授中國歷史，讓學生最少有一定的基礎知識，有其必要性，也有值得推行的理由。
President I still believe that it is necessary and justified to through teaching Chinese history in a systematic way enable students to at least acquire certain fundamental knowledge
所以，我支持張國鈞議員今天提出的議案，讓中史獨立成科。
For this reason I support Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwans motion today on requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject
主席，田北辰議員證明了一件事：要站在中間是很困難的。
President Mr Michael TIEN has proved one thing that is it is difficult to adopt a neutral stand
正如我在上次會議所說，我動議這項議案，是希望提供一個平台讓大家討論此事，無論大家的立場為何。
As I said at the last meeting I moved this motion with the hope of providing Members with a platform for debating the issue regardless of what stance Members have adopted
我也了解到，由於此課題牽涉一些利益問題，爭拗甚多。
I also learn that as the issue has a bearing on the interests of various sides there are great controversies
今次聽過大家的表述，我們工聯會保持堅定立場，認為取消強制性公積金對沖機制是正確的選擇。
Having heard the remarks made by Members we in the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions maintain our firm position that it is a correct choice to abolish the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF offsetting mechanism
很多商界同事反對取消對沖機制的最重要原因，是他們認為此舉會大大加重營商負擔，甚至令很多中小企倒閉。
Many Members from the business sector oppose the abolition of the offsetting mechanism their main reason is that they think such a move will enhance the burden of business operation considerably even leading to the closure of many small and medium enterprises . However deceptive remarks cannot stand computations
我們早前已說過，2013年的對沖金額約為30億元，這數目只佔全港總薪酬支出的0.37%，對企業的實質現金流影響甚微。
As we have said earlier the amount offset in 2013 was around 3 billion accounting for 0.37 % of the total expenditure on salaries in Hong Kong . Hence the impact on the actual cash flow of enterprises is insignificant
張建宗局長一貫是說了等於沒說，任何具體的、我們想聽到的話，他都沒有說。
As usual Secretary Matthew CHEUNGs speech is devoid of any contents and he fails to provide any specific information that we would like to know
財經事務及庫務局局長簡直是答非所問，我們討論的是取消強積金對沖機制，但他作答時卻談論強積金如何運作和投資，完全不是那回事。
The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury is simply not answering to the question . While we are discussing the abolition of the MPF offsetting mechanism he talked about in his reply the operation and investments of MPF which are totally irrelevant
因此，我認為政府官員在這問題上並沒有作出承擔，只是左閃右避。
For this reason I think government officials have not made any commitments with regard to this issue and they only shirk their responsibilities
就這問題而言，在勞資雙方無法達成共識的情況下，政府必須擔當主要角色並承擔主要責任，處理此事。
When employees and employers are unable to reach a consensus on the issue the Government must play a leading role and assume major responsibilities to address the issue
主席，我支持"規定初中中國歷史獨立成科"這項議案。
President I support the motion on Requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject at junior secondary level
歷史教育是國民教育的根本，是一個民族賴以薪火相傳的基礎；學生學習中國歷史是理所當然的事。
History education is fundamental to national education laying the foundation for a nation to pass on the torch . It is right and proper for students to study Chinese history
然而隨着課程改革，進修中國歷史科的學生比例逐年下降，令學生對國家歷史及發展的認識越來越模糊。
However with the introduction of the curriculum reform the proportion of students taking the subject of Chinese History has decreased year after year . As a result their understanding of the history and developments of our country has become increasingly blurred
歷史教育的缺失，導致新一代對歷史不了解，因而對國家產生誤解，甚至抗拒，造成新一代的歷史意識斷層，國家意識及認同感薄弱模糊。
The shortcomings of history education render the new generation unable to understand history resulting in misunderstanding of and even resistance towards the country . The new generation suffers a gap in their historical awareness; their sense of national awareness and identity is weak and blurred
現時，香港自決和"港獨"等思潮抬頭，就是源於青年人和部分香港人對歷史、國情缺乏認識。
At present the increasing prevalence of the ideas of Hong Kong self - determination and Hong Kong independence originate from the lack of understanding of the history and situation of our country among young people and some Hong Kong people
較早前，竟然有兩名大學生出席英國國會聽證會，公開要求英國重新執行《南京條約》及《天津條約》，數典忘祖，令人遺憾。
Earlier two university students went so far as to attend a hearing at the British Parliament appealing publicly the British Government to re - enforce the Treaty of Nanjing and the Treaty of Tianjin . It is deplorable that these young people have forgotten their own origins
在這個大環境下，討論加強香港學生對中史科的學習，具有特殊意義。
Under such circumstances the discussion on strengthening the learning of Chinese history of Hong Kong students is of special significance
回歸前，教育署沒有將中史列為初中必修科目，但一直都是獨立成科。
Before the reunification though the Education Department had not stipulated Chinese History as a compulsory subject at junior secondary level it had all along been taught as an independent subject
2001年，中史定為初中必修科，卻取消了獨立成科。
In 2001 Chinese History was made a compulsory subject at junior secondary level but it was not made to be taught as an independent subject
很多學校沒有獨立的中史科，中史老師甚至轉教通識科。
Chinese History has not been taught as an independent subject in many schools and Chinese History teachers have to teach Liberal Studies instead
中史教育得不到重視，亦難以評核中史的教學成果。
As Chinese history education is not given due importance it is difficult to assess its effectiveness
民主建港協進聯盟早前對1,326名市民進行調查，當中七成中學生認為他們對中國歷史知識不足夠，超過七成人認為應該在初中設立獨立的中史科。
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB has recently polled 1 326 people . Among the respondents 70 % of secondary students considered their knowledge of Chinese history insufficient and over 70 % of them considered it necessary to make Chinese History an independent subject at junior secondary level
香港中文大學校長沈祖堯醫生曾經在網誌上提到，殖民地時期，醫院的醫生分3個等級：最高的是完全不諳中文的外籍醫生；中間的是略懂中文的中國籍醫生，最下層就是能操流利中文的中國籍醫生。
Dr Joseph SUNG Jao - yiu Vice - Chancellor and President of the Chinese University of Hong Kong once recalled in his blog that doctors were classified into three classes during the colonial era at the top were doctors who did not know Chinese at all; in the middle were doctors who knew a little Chinese; and at the lowest class were doctors who spoke fluent Chinese
沈醫生當時心裏不禁慨嘆，中國人在自己的領土上，竟然淪為二等公民。
Dr SUNG could not help lamenting that Chinese people were relegated to second - class citizens in their own territory
只有未經歷過、未了解過殖民地時期華人受盡欺凌的人，才會受反對派"去中國化"運動的影響，懷念他們不曾經歷的港英年代。
Only those who have never experienced the suffering or who have never tried to understand how Chinese people had been horrendously bullied during the colonial era will be influenced by the desinicization campaign of the opposition camp and remain nostalgic about the colonial era which they have never experienced
有見及此，民建聯要求，除中國古代史外，還要教授中國近代史，更要將香港史納入中史教學，增加香港與內地互動的內容。
For this reason DAB requests the inclusion of not only ancient Chinese history but contemporary Chinese history and even Hong Kong history into the Chinese History curriculum with increased focus on the exchanges between Hong Kong and the Mainland
唐太宗李世民曾經說："夫以銅為鏡，可以正衣冠；以古為鏡，可以知興替；以人為鏡，可以明得失。
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said Using bronze as a mirror one can straighten his hat and clothes; using history as a mirror one can know the rise and fall of dynasties; using people as a mirror one can know his own right and wrong
"意思是修讀歷史旨在理性思辨前人解決問題之道，借鑒其得失教訓，明辨是非。
In other words historical studies allow us to discern rationally the problem - solving approach of our predecessors draw lessons from their gains and losses and distinguish right from wrong
10月12日立法會會議上宣誓期間，梁頌恆及游蕙禎惡意將"中國"讀成侮辱民族的"支那"。
During their oath - taking at the Legislative Council meeting on 12 October Sixtus LEUNG and YAU Wai - ching maliciously pronounced China as the derogatory Shina
眾多團體登報譴責，各界口誅筆伐，抗日老兵、建制議員要求他們道歉，教育界亦群起而攻之，連我們的同事葉建源議員都嚴厲批評兩人的辱華誓詞。
Quite a number of groups had published statements on newspapers to condemn them; various sectors had expressed criticisms verbally and in writing; anti - Japanese war veterans and pro - establishment Members demanded an apology from them; the education sector jointly attacked them and even our colleague Mr IP Kin - yuen had sternly criticized the oath of the duo for insulting China
但是，兩人仍拒絕道歉，還一再表示不知錯在何處。
However they still refused to apologize and indicated time and again that they do not know what wrong they had done
這兩個人如果不是太無耻，就是太無知。
The duo is too ignorant if not too shameless
學過歷史的人都知道，在侵華戰爭的時候，日本一直用"支那"來稱呼中國，更帶有"中國豬"、劣等民族等侮辱意思。
People who have studied history will know that during the war of aggression on China Japan had been addressing China as Shina which also carries the derogatory meaning of Chinese pigs and an inferior nation
二戰後，日本向全國發出《關於迴避使用支那 稱呼之事宜》，國際社會都避用這個詞，他們竟然毫不忌諱。
After the Second World War Japan issued a notice nationwide on matters on avoiding the use of the term Shina . While the international community has avoided using this term the duo had no scruples about this
他們兩人的誓詞，不僅嚴重侮辱了包括香港人在內的13億同胞和全球華人，亦侮辱了他們的祖先，完全喪失了人格和國格。
Their oaths had not only seriously insulted our 1.3 billion compatriots and the Chinese people around the world including Hong Kong people but had also insulted their ancestors at the total expense of their personal dignity as well as the national dignity
我藉此機會，希望中史能夠獨立成科，中學生可以加強對歷史的學習，明辨是非，以兩位青年新政的議員為鑒。
I would like to take this opportunity to express my hope that Chinese History can be made an independent subject which allows secondary students to enhance their learning of Chinese history and distinguish right from wrong . They should draw a lesson from the two Youngspiration Members
違背史實，違背"一國兩制"，最終會受到懲罰。
Anyone who goes against historical facts and violates one country two systems will be liable to punishment in the end
主席，本屆立法會首兩項議員議案，其中一項是"規定初中中國歷史獨立成科"。
President requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject is one of the first two Members motions in this term of the Legislative Council
這項看似不具爭議的議案，其實魔鬼就在細節之中。
This motion appears to be uncontroversial but in fact the devil is in the details
根據教育局的資料，教育局局長剛才亦提及，幾乎所有初中學生均修讀中國歷史科。
According to information from the Education Bureau and as mentioned by the Secretary for Education just now almost all junior secondary students are taking the subject of Chinese History
將議案內容和現實情況對比一下，便會發現原議案最大的目的，是要將國民教育科未能完成的"洗腦"任務，交由中史科執行。
However a comparison between the content of the motion and the actual situation will reveal that the biggest objective of the original motion is to have Chinese History take over the brainwashing mission that the Moral and National Education had failed to accomplish
因此，我不會認同原議案。
For this reason I will not endorse this motion
新高中學制實施後，對選修文、理、商科沒有硬性規定，學生的自由度更大，繼續選修中史科的學生大幅減少。
Under the New Senior Secondary Academic Structure there is no mandatory requirements on the selection of arts science and commerce streams . With more leeway the number of students who continue to take Chinese History as an elective has significantly reduced
相比之下，在改制之前，2010年有26,000多人報考中史科。
By comparison before the curriculum reform 26 000 - odd students applied to take the Chinese History examination in 2010
中史科現時可說是夕陽科目。
At present Chinese History can be regarded as a sunset subject
香港過於着重商科和理科，輕視文科，學生亦基於出路問題，不願意修讀中史科。
In Hong Kong much more emphasis has been placed on commerce and science subjects than arts subjects . Students are also unwilling to take Chinese History as an elective due to career prospects
今年修讀經濟科有16,000多人，化學科有14,000多人，而物理科也有12,000多人，這些科目的出路往往較歷史科闊，以致修讀中史科的人數越來越少。
This year 16 000 - odd students take Economics as an elective 14 000 - odd students take Chemistry and 12 000 - odd students take Physics . These subjects usually offer better prospects than History . That is the reason why fewer and fewer people take Chinese History as an elective
今年適逢國父孫中山誕辰150周年，特首數天前出席展覽會的開幕儀式，還寄語香港人要秉承革命先烈的遺志，為國家發展、振興中華繼續努力。
This year marks the 150 anniversary of the birth of Dr SUN Yat - sen the Father of Modern China . The Chief Executive attended the opening ceremony of an exhibition a few days ago . He called on Hong Kong people to adhere to the unfulfilled aspiration of the revolutionary vanguard and continue to contribute to national development and the revitalization of the Chinese nation
但是，我很擔心特首根本不認同孫中山的革命思想。
However I am very concerned as to whether the Chief Executive actually subscribes to the revolutionary ideas of Dr SUN Yat - sen
凡有真正研讀國父事蹟的人都知道，他不會只談"國家要發展"這些假大空的口號，他畢生為民主而奔波。
Anyone who has actually studied the history of the Father of Modern China will know that he did not only chant such fallacious grandiose and empty slogan as development is necessary for the country . He had dedicated all his life to the cause of democracy
1923年，他返回香港大學發表演講時坦言："中國對於世界他處之良好事物皆可模仿，而最要之先着，厥為改變政府。
In 1923 he said frankly when he revisited the University of Hong Kong and delivered a speech China can imitate whatever good things elsewhere in the world; and first and foremost we must change the government
現社會中最有力之物，即為一組織良 好之政府。中國則並無良政府，數百年來只有敗壞一切之惡政府。
The most powerful thing in the current society is a well - organized government yet China does not have a good government . For centuries there was only a bad government which ruined everything
彼因此於大學畢業之後，即決計拋棄其醫人生涯，而從事於醫國事業。
Therefore immediately after I graduated from university I have decided to give up my profession of healing people and instead engage in the undertaking of curing the country
由此可知彼之革命思想完全得之香港也。
This shows that my revolutionary ideas are all derived from Hong Kong
" 特首就任以來，認為自己地位超然，恣意干預司法獨立，導致香港不斷沉淪。
Since assuming office the Chief Executive considered himself superior and hence wilfully interfere with the independent judicial system resulted in the continued decline of Hong Kong
香港的法治、公務員中立和三權分立制度已被嚴重侵蝕。
Hong Kongs rule of law the neutrality of the civil service and separation of powers have been seriously eroded
當年孫中山先生在香港受到啟蒙，決定畢生投身革命，推翻腐敗的封建制度。
Back then Dr SUN Yat - sen was enlightened in Hong Kong and he decided to devote his lifetime to the revolution to overthrow the corrupt feudal system
反之，近年特首帶頭破壞香港引以為傲的制度、三權分立和廉潔奉公，香港逐漸失去昔日的光輝，認識香港歷史的人都會搖頭歎息。
In contrast in recent years the Chief Executive has taken the lead in destroying the system the separation of powers and probity and integrity in which we have taken pride . Hong Kong has gradually lost its past glory . Those who know Hong Kongs history will shake their heads and sigh
香港政府聲言要加強香港歷史教育，卻偏偏不斷抹煞香港歷史，實在自相矛盾。
Despite its claim to enhance education on Hong Kong history the Hong Kong Government has continued to obliterate the history of the territory which is self - contradictory indeed
去年，郵政署忽然以郵筒上的英國皇室徽號不合宜為由，以鐵板遮蓋有關標記，劃一換上香港郵政的白色蜂鳥標誌。
Last year the Hongkong Post HKP suddenly covered the British crown markings engraved on posting boxes with iron plates featuring HKPs corporate logo of a white humming bird on the grounds that these posting boxes are no longer appropriate
每個郵筒按照本身的年份，視乎當時在位的君主而刻有不同標記或皇冠圖案。
Each posting box is engraved with specific marking or crown sign indicating its year and the reigning monarch at the time
不過，顯然政府帶頭抹煞我們的殖民地歷史。
However the Government is obviously taking the lead to obliterate our colonial history
孫中山史蹟徑則更為可悲，偶然會看到紀念牌旁邊棄置垃圾，或紀念牌被雜物遮蓋。
The Dr SUN Yat - sen Historical Trail is even more deplorable . Occasionally rubbish was spotted beside or covering the monument
如真正尊重孫中山，我希望梁振英不要說一套、做一套，希望他真正尊重歷史、保育古蹟。
If he really respects Dr SUN Yat - sen I hope that LEUNG Chun - ying will walk the talk by showing true respect for history and conserving monuments
今年，本土派和自決派在立法會選舉異軍突起，加上宣誓風波深深刺激左派神經。
This year the localist and self - determination camps have emerged as a new force in the Legislative Council election . In addition the oath - taking saga has struck a nerve with the leftists
《人民日報》亦指出，中史科的缺失令年輕人有錯誤的歷史觀念，甚至導致"港獨"思潮，因此中史科不可廢弛。
The Peoples Daily has also noted that the deficiencies in Chinese history teaching has left young people with wrong historical concepts and has even given rise to the trend of Hong Kong independence . As a result Chinese history should never be abandoned
今年9月，教育局就初中歷史科課程進行第一次諮詢，目標訂明是通過對香港重要史事的認識，了解香港過去發展的歷程，以及與國家的關係，加強對社會、國家的歸屬感用字似曾相識。
In September this year the Education Bureau conducted the first consultation on Chinese History curriculum at junior secondary level setting out the objective to strengthen a sense of belonging to our community and our country through understanding important historical events of Hong Kong the course of Hong Kongs past developments and its relations with the country―the wordings look familiar
2012年，政府強行推出《德育及國民教育科課程指引》，惹怒很多香港人，群起在公民廣場集會，特區政府最終在壓力下而擱置課程指引。
In 2012 the Government forcibly published the Curriculum Guide of Moral and National Education subject which has sparked public outrage . Many Hong Kong people staged a rally at the civic square . In the end the Government shelved the Curriculum Guide under pressure
當年國民教育科胎死腹中，當局如今便把"洗腦"的任務交給中史科。
In the wake of the previous abortion of the Moral and National Education the Administration is now passing on the brainwashing mission to the subject of Chinese history
主席，我聆聽議員的發言，至今最多人引述的一句話是："夫以銅為鏡，可以正衣冠；以古為鏡，可以知興替；以人為鏡，可以明得失。
President I have listened to Members speeches and noticed that so far the most often cited quotation is Using bronze as a mirror one can straighten his hat and clothes; using history as a mirror one can know the rise and fall of dynasties; using people as a mirror one can know his own right and wrong
