發展框架載述政府就香港數碼廣播服務的政策及推行計劃，當中要點包括： 1政府沒有計劃終止AM/FM模擬聲音廣播服務； 2政府會採取技術中立的模式，由廣播機構自行決定採用任何技術制式；及 3數碼廣播營辦商有需要共用現有山頂廣播站和有關設施，共用安排由有關營辦商自行商定。
The DAB Framework sets out the Governments policy and the implementation plan for DAB services in Hong Kong . The key points of the DAB Framework include 1 there is no plan for switching off analogue AMFM sound broadcasting services; 2 the Government will adopt a technology - neutral approach and it will be for the broadcasters to decide on the technical standards to be adopted; and 3 sharing of existing hilltop broadcasting sites and relevant facilities is necessary and will be subject to commercial agreement among the relevant operators
政府及後收到4份申請，但其中一位申請者及後決定撤回其有關申請。
Four applications of DAB licences were then received by the Government and one of which was later withdrawn by the applicant
2011年3月，行政長官會同行政會議把數碼廣播牌照批予3個商營營辦商，分別為DBC、新城廣播有限公司及鳳凰優悅廣播有限公司。
In March 2011 the Chief Executive in Council granted DAB licences to three commercial operators namely DBC Metro Broadcast Corporation Limited Metro and Phoenix U Radio Limited Phoenix U
同時，政府在把頻道編配予DBC、新城及鳳凰優悅後，將餘下的容量指配予香港電台。
Channels were at the same time allocated to DBC Metro and Phoenix U with the remaining spectrum capacity assigned to Radio Television Hong Kong RTHK
鳳凰優悅、DBC及新城分別在2015年9月、2016年8月及2016年9月申請交還數碼廣播牌照。
In September 2015 August 2016 and September 2016 Phoenix U DBC and Metro applied for the surrender of their DAB licences respectively
行政長官會同行政會議其後批准由2015年11月7日、2016年10月15日及2016年11月12日起，分別終止鳳凰優悅、DBC及新城的相關牌照。
Subsequently the Chief Executive in Council approved the termination of the DAB licences of Phoenix U DBC and Metro with effect from 7 November 2015 15 October 2016 and 12 November 2016 respectively
在上述背景下，我們正在檢討香港數碼廣播的未來路向。
Against the above background we are conducting a review on the way forward of DAB services in Hong Kong
就質詢的3個部分，我現答覆如下： 一及二 正如我們於2016年1月在立法會資訊科技及廣播事務委員會向議員解釋，自去年鳳凰優悅終止服務後，當局開始就數碼廣播在香港的發展進行檢討，包括如何推動服務的持續發展。
My consolidated reply to the three parts of the question is as follows 1 and 2 As explained to Members of the Legislative Council Panel on Information Technology and Broadcasting in January 2016 we commenced a review on the development of DAB services in Hong Kong after the cessation of such services by Phoenix U last year including how to promote the sustainable development of DAB services
在檢討進行期間，其餘兩間營辦商也相繼申請交還數碼廣播牌照。
While the review was in progress the remaining two DAB operators also submitted applications for the surrender of their DAB licences
有鑒於此，當局有需要調整檢討方向， 特別是要仔細研究數碼廣播服務在香港的市場前景；另外，在行政長官會同行政會議批准終止3間商營營辦商的數碼廣播牌照後，港台成為香港唯一提供數碼廣播服務的機構，在此情況之下提供數碼廣播服務的社會效益和價值，也屬今次檢討範圍之內。
In view of this we have to adjust the direction of the review in particular comprehensively reviewing the future market prospects of DAB services in Hong Kong . On the other hand given that RTHK has become the sole operator providing DAB services in Hong Kong after the approval of termination of the DAB licences of the three commercial operators by the Chief Executive in Council the review would also cover the social benefits and values that the DAB services could bring under such circumstances
檢討會檢視包括數碼廣播服務的市場前景和定位、可持續性、政府投放的資源以及未來路向等議題。
The review will examine issues such as the market outlook and positioning sustainability resources provided by the Government and the way forward of DAB services
檢討也會參考海外的經驗。
It will also make reference to overseas experience
我們是抱持着開放和審慎的態度探視有關議題，以致力盡快完成檢討。
We will study the issues with an open mind and with prudence and will endeavour to complete the review as soon as possible
三 根據《廣播條例》，通訊事務管理局須就本地免費電視節目服務牌照申請向行政長官會同行政會議作出建議。
3 Under the Broadcasting Ordinance BO the Communications Authority CA shall make recommendations to the Chief Executive in Council on applications for domestic free television programme service free TV licences
根據《廣播條例》，經考慮通訊局就免費電視牌照申請作出建議後，行政長官會同行政會議會就是否向申請機構批給牌照作出決定。
Under the BO the Chief Executive in Council will after considering recommendations made by the CA on a free TV licence application decide whether such a licence should be granted to the applicant
就此，政府可否告知本會，由於目前只餘下港台提供數碼廣播服務，是否還需要興建設備和設施？
In this connection will the Government inform this Council if there is still any need to construct the equipment and facilities given that RTHK has now become the only remaining broadcaster to provide DAB services?
其維修成本是否物有所值？
Is the maintenance costs concerned value - for - money?
為甚麼減少了兩間持牌機構，卻會令成本以倍數飆升？
Why is it that the costs multiply abruptly after the departure of two licensees?
主席，根據外國的經驗，數碼廣播服務如要成功，需具備兩項因素。
President according to overseas experience two conditions must be met before any DAB service can succeed
我們在發出數碼廣播牌照時，其實已經清楚指出，我們沒有計劃終止AM/FM模擬聲音廣播服務，我們認為數碼廣播可以與AM及FM互相補充，提供不同的廣播服務選擇。
When the DAB licences were issued the Government had made it clear that we had no plan for switching off analogue AMFM sound broadcasting services . We consider that DAB and analogue AMFM sound broadcasting can complement each other and offer different choices of broadcasting services
根據觀察，現時絕大多數推行數碼廣播的國家及地區均沒有承諾在某個確實日期終止模擬聲音廣播服務。
According to our observation the overwhelming majority of countries and regions providing DAB services have not set any definite date for switching off analogue sound broadcasting services yet
換句話說，其實當局的支援並不足夠，而且為營辦商製造了很多麻煩。
That means instead of providing adequate support for the operators the authorities have created troubles for them
我想問局長，當局當初發出數碼廣播牌照後，有否設立固定機制或與3間持牌營辦商進行商討，以檢視及評估政策推出後的進度和效果？
I wish to ask the Secretary these questions . After the authorities first granted the DAB licences have they put in place any standing mechanism or discussed with the licensees so as to review and assess the progress and effectiveness of the policy after its implementation?
主席，正如主體答覆中提及，當局在推出數碼廣播後，在11條政府隧道安裝了轉播發射器，令隧道內的人士都可以收聽到數碼廣播。
President as I have mentioned in the main reply after the introduction of DAB services the authorities have constructed re - broadcasting systems in 11 government tunnels so that users of the tunnels can listen to DAB programmes
在整個過程中，我們與所有營辦商都一直保持溝通及一起推廣這項服務。
All along we have continued to liaise with all the operators and joined hands with them in promoting DAB services
既然政府的廣播政策是傾向數碼廣播，而港台是一間用公帑營運的公營廣播機構，我真的希望港台有足夠資源可以發展數碼廣播，同時亦可以幫助免費電視的營運。
Given that the Governments broadcasting policy favours the development of DAB services and RTHK is a government - funded public broadcaster I really hope that sufficient resources will be given to RTHK to develop DAB services and to help support the free television programme service
我的補充質詢是，局長現在說港台應該有一個帶領的作用，究竟港台新廣播大樓的計劃、資源及撥款等的最新情況是怎樣？
As the Secretary is now saying that RTHK should perform a leading function my supplementary question is What is the latest position regarding the proposal of constructing the new Broadcasting House of RTHK including the plan and the resources and funding allocated for this purpose?
主席，我相信這問題應在其他場合解答。
President I believe the question should be answered on another occasion
港府過往只投放了6,300萬元推行數碼廣播、900萬元興建9個發射站、4,600萬元在11條隧道安裝數碼廣播轉播系統，以及850萬元進行推廣，這樣不是"做"是甚麼呢？
The Government has only injected 63 million in developing DAB services 9 million in constructing nine transmitting stations 46 million in constructing DAB re - broadcasting systems in 11 government tunnels and 85 million in promoting the services is it not clear that the Government has been developing the services half - heartedly?
所以，這項"死因研究"必定是預先張揚的。
Thus the post - mortem is surely one for which advance notice has been given
我想追問港台的問題，我懷疑港台已被寫進"死亡筆記"中，究竟政府要用多少時間來"陰乾"港台？
I want to follow up the question on RTHK and I suspect that RTHKs name has been entered in the Death Note so to speak . How much time will the Government spend in sapping RTHK dry?
我想追問政府的代表，政府是否有計劃"陰乾"港台，以及打算用多少時間來"陰乾"港台？
May I ask the Governments representative whether the Government has any plan to sap RTHK dry and if so how much time will it spend to do so?
主席，我強調我們並沒有任何計劃"陰乾"港台。
President let me stress that we do not have any plan to sap RTHK dry
毛議員剛才也提出同樣的問題，雖然我說應在其他場合解答，但我希望港台新廣播大樓能得到議員的支持，其實議員在過往已提出了不少意見，我們正在研究新方案，並希望能盡快再向立法會提出。
Although I said that the question should be answered on another occasion I hope that Members will support the proposal of the new Broadcasting House of RTHK . In fact Members have already raised a number of views on that proposal in the past . We are exploring new options on the proposal with a view to putting them forward to the Legislative Council as soon as possible
可是，政府要麼是迴避，要麼便是拒絕，現在已沒有需要提出這個要求，因為所有數字都幾乎歸零，剩餘港台的頻道正在"吊鹽水"。
However the Government either avoided or refused my request . There is no need to make this request now because all of these figures will drop to almost zero and the remaining RTHK DAB channels have been put on saline drips
其實，死因已無需研究，因為大家都知道，問題是政府是否決定終結數碼廣播而已。
In fact there is no need to inquire into the cause of death because people already have the answer . The remaining issue is whether the Government will decide to switch DAB off
我反而想問，政府有沒有其他國家或海外地方的數據可以支持政府這樣快便結束數碼廣播？
I would like to ask this question instead Does the Government have any overseas statistics which will support it to finish DAB off quickly?
我們知道，其他國家在推廣數碼廣播服務時也遇到不同問題。
We understand that the countries have encountered different problems in developing DAB services
所以，我們會把海外的經驗及其他新數據也包括在今次的檢討內。
We would include overseas experience and other latest figures in the current review
主席，我想了解，如果我們過往有3個加1個電台尚且不能妥善地經營，現在失去3個電台後，究竟港台是否正在使用納稅人的錢勉強支撐下去，還是真的有機會可以恢復生機？
President DAB services could not operate well in the past when we had three plus one stations now that three stations have departed is RTHK struggling to survive with taxpayers money or is there a real chance that RTHK will revive?
代理主席，對於大多數於2000年以前在中學就讀的香港學生來說，中國歷史科絕不陌生，即使事隔多年，大家仍可說出不同朝代發生的歷史大事。
Deputy President the subject of Chinese History is by no means unfamiliar to most people who went to secondary school in Hong Kong before 2000 including me . Although many years have elapsed we can still rattle off major historical events that took place in different dynasties
在那些年代，即使學校沒有把世界歷史獨立成科，也有獨立的中史科，可見其地位之高。
In those days even if schools did not teach world history as an independent subject they taught Chinese history as an independent subject . This goes to show that the subject of Chinese History had a high status back then
雖然教育局多番強調，在2001年教改後才把中史列為初中必修科，在此之前，中史從來不是初中必修科，但事實勝於雄辯，10多年過去了，我們看到中史科不斷被邊緣化，公開試的考生人數不斷減少，新一代對中國歷史的認知大不如前。
The Education Bureau has stressed repeatedly that Chinese History was not made a compulsory subject at junior secondary level until after the education reform in 2001 before which Chinese History was never a compulsory subject at junior secondary level . However facts speak louder than words . Over the past 10 - odd years as we can see the subject of Chinese History has been continuously marginalized the number of candidates taking public examinations in the subject has been on the decline and the new generations knowledge of Chinese history has become much worse than the older generations
局長所謂的必修科，是容許學校放棄開設中史科，而將其課程內容裁剪、分割，再寄生於其他學科中。
The compulsory subject referred to by the Secretary allows schools to give up offering Chinese History as a subject but instead to have its curriculum contents cut divided and attached parasitically to other subjects
有4%的中學把中史結合世界史為內容；有8%的中學開設專題形式的綜合中史課程，但並非以獨立成科的方式教授中史。
Four percent of secondary schools teach Chinese history and world history as a combined subject; whereas 8 % of secondary schools offer an integrated Chinese History curriculum using a thematic approach but do not teach Chinese history as an independent subject
代理主席，我發言支持張國鈞議員提出"規定初中中國歷史獨立成科"的議案。
Deputy President I speak in support of the motion on Requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject at junior secondary level moved by Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan
代理主席，在10月12日的立法會會議上，兩位年輕的前候任議員在莊嚴的立法會宣誓過程中，把中國說成"支那"，侮辱自己民族，貶低中國人的身份。
Deputy President at the Legislative Council meeting on 12 October two young former Members - elect pronounced China as Shina at the solemn oath - taking ceremony of the Legislative Council . They insulted their own nation and belittled the status of the Chinese people
他們在宣誓過程中令人厭惡和反感的低俗表現，反映出他們對國家歷史知識的無知，亦說明現時中國歷史科教育的失敗。
Their offensive and vulgar behaviour during the oath - taking well reflected their ignorance of the history of our country as well as the failure of the present education system in teaching Chinese history
這事件發生後，"一群默默耕耘的歷史文化及教育工作者"在多份報章刊登聯署聲明，除了要求他們兩人道歉以外，亦促請教育局重新審視年輕人錯誤的歷史觀念，並要求規定中史獨立成科。
After this incident a group of behind - the - scene history and culture workers and educators published a joint statement in a number of newspapers to demand an apology from the duo and urge the Education Bureau to review afresh the incorrect historical concepts of young people . They also requested the authorities to stipulate Chinese History as an independent subject
這群人包括香港歷史博物館前總館長丁新豹、嶺南大學香港與華南歷史研究部主任劉智鵬、香港浸會大學歷史系教授李金強等。
These people included Dr Joseph TING former Chief Curator of the Hong Kong Museum of History; Prof LAU Chi - pang Co - ordinator Hong Kong and South China Historical Research Programme and Prof LEE Kam - keung Adjunct Professor Department of History Hong Kong Baptist University
他們要求當局就目前中史教育被輕視的問題對症下藥。
They all demanded the authorities to find the right remedy for the present problem of Chinese history education being belittled
如果兩位年輕人知道日本軍國主義者當年侵略亞洲人民所帶來的傷害及對中國人民犯下諸多罪行，以及知道日軍在南京大屠殺中如何視殺人如遊戲，日本人在三年零八個月當中如何令香港人受苦，我相信他們不會用日本人歧視中國人的用語來侮辱自己的民族和國家或說出如此無知、無耻的話。
If the two young people knew the sufferings brought by Japanese militarists to the Asian people during their invasion and the atrocities they committed against the Chinese people and if they knew how the Japanese soldiers regarded killing as a game during the Nanjing Massacre and how people in Hong Kong suffered under the Japanese rule during the three years and eight months I think they would not use such a discriminatory term used by the Japanese against Chinese people to insult their own nation and country or they would not make such ignorant and shameless remarks
代理主席，現時中史教育出現甚麼問題？
Deputy President what has gone wrong with the current Chinese history education?
其實，2001年課程改革推動科目合併，便是這次討論的起點。
In fact the discussion on this subject should start from the reform of the curriculum in 2001 which proposed the combination of certain subjects
當時提出改革的目標是搞活中 史科，擴闊學生的視野，讓中史貫通西方歷史。
The objectives of the reform were to enliven the teaching of Chinese history widen students horizon and integrate Chinese history with world history
這些目標不一定錯誤，但過去多年的實踐反映，中史和西史被納入社會科後，中史教育更被拆散、綜合和邊緣化。
These objectives were not necessarily wrong but after years of implementation with Chinese History and World History being integrated into social subjects Chinese History education has been taken apart integrated and marginalized
現時有兩成中學以這種方式教授中史。
At present 20 % of secondary schools adopt this mode in teaching Chinese history
從西史的角度或從中華民族的角度來看歷史，有本質上的分別。
There is a fundamental difference between looking at history from the perspective of world history and from that of the Chinese nation
以鴉片戰爭為例，中史把鴉片戰爭定義為侵略戰爭，而西史則將之定義為商務戰爭。
Take the Opium War as an example . From the perspective of Chinese history it was a war of aggression while from the perspective of world history it was a commercial war
在短短的課堂時間內，如果學生連基本的知識都未能掌握，歷史上各個朝代的脈絡都弄不清楚，就貿然要學生合併分析中西歷史，或把秦始皇與凱撒大帝作比較，自然是"未學行，先學走"。
Within the limited lesson time if students have difficulties in grasping the basic knowledge failing to understand the rise and fall of various Chinese dynasties and yet we ask them to analyse Chinese history and world history from an integrated perspective or compare Qin Shi Huang with Julius Caesar it is no different from asking them to run before they learn to walk
學生怎能學好中史？
How can students learn Chinese history well?
中史科不受高中學生歡迎，除了有新學制問題外，從升學和就業角度考慮，以中史作為專業的職業需求不大，亦不是每間大學都有歷史系，所以，更少學生有興趣修讀中史，他們甚至失去接觸歷史的機會。
Apart from the problem concerning the new curriculum from the perspectives of further studies and employment there are few jobs demanding the professional knowledge of Chinese history and not every university has a history faculty hence fewer students are interested in studying Chinese history and they even do not have the opportunity to get to learn about history
代理主席，我們不是要求所有學生都喜愛讀中史或以此為終生專業。
Deputy President we are not saying that all students should like to study Chinese history or build a career on it
我們認為，初中學生在一個完整系統下學習中史非常重要。
We think that it is very important for junior secondary students to learn Chinese history under a sound system
中史教育的重點是認識國家和民族的發展，以及擴闊學生的視野。
The salient point of Chinese history education is to help students learn about the development of their country and nation and to widen their horizon
不了解過去便無法理解現在，更不可能想象將來。
One cannot understand the present without understanding the past; neither can he form a perspective of the future
所謂"以史為鑒，以古知今"，輕視中史及對原有中史教學體系的肢解，只會削弱同學對國家的認識，以及對民族的認知和認同。
Neglecting Chinese history and dismembering Chinese history education will only weaken students understanding of their country as well as their sense of recognition and identification with the nation
當局固然需要檢討中史教育，但不應削弱原有體系，令中史教育變得支離破碎。
The authorities should certainly conduct a review on Chinese history education but it should not weaken the original system and make Chinese history education fragmentary
因此，撥亂反正，把中史科列為初中必修科並獨立成科，讓學生對國家及整個中華民族的歷史脈絡有基本及連貫的認識，是糾正現時中史教育的第一步。
Therefore to right the wrong the authorities must stipulate Chinese History as a compulsory and independent subject so that students can gain a basic and coherent understanding of the historical development of our country and the entire Chinese nation . That is the first step to rectify the current problems relating to Chinese history education
有人亦建議加入香港與內地在歷史上的互動關係，我非常贊成這點。
There are suggestions that the Chinese History curriculum should cover the interactive relationship between Hong Kong and the Mainland in history to which I strongly agree
至於如何擴闊中史的課程範圍，豐富教與學的過程，提升同學學習歷史的興趣，以及提供足夠課時，保證歷史教育的質素，我們仍要進行討論。
As regards how to extend the coverage of the curriculum enrich the teaching and learning process enhance students interest in learning history provide sufficient lesson time and ensure the quality of history education more discussions should be held
我們也要提供更多機會，讓學生到國家其他地方交流，親 身體驗不同地區的特色文化，增加他們對國家的興趣，從而肯定認識國家歷史的重要性。
We also have to provide more opportunities for students to visit other places in our country and exchange views with the local people . In so doing they can personally experience the unique cultures of different places and increase their interest in the country thereby affirming the importance of learning the history of the country
我們都看到兩位年輕人宣誓時的表現，他們對歷史的無知，反映出青年人對歷史認知的偏差。
The behaviour of the two young people at oath - taking well reflects their ignorance of history as well as young peoples incorrect understanding of history
夏、商、周、春秋、戰國、秦、漢、晉、隋、唐、五代十國、宋、元、明、清、民國、中華人民共和國，為何我能夠把這些國號念得朗朗上口？
The following is a list of major Chinese dynasties in chronological order the Xia Shang Zhou Dynasties the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods the Qin Han Jin Sui Tang Five Dynasties and Ten States Song Yuan Ming and Qing Dynasties Republic of China and Peoples Republic of China . How come I can recite the entire list from memory?
現今社會的知識講究分析和獨立思考，因此知古識今、以史為鑒特別重要。
Nowadays analysis and independent thinking are the keys to knowledge in our society . It is therefore all the more important for us to understand the present by learning from the past and to learn the lessons of history
因此，對於現時中史科並非必修科，我們覺得非常可惜。
Hence it is regrettable that Chinese History is presently not a compulsory subject
哪怕是只有20%初中生沒有修讀中史科，我覺得對這20%的初中生而言，也是十分不公平。
Although only 20 % of junior secondary students do not have Chinese History lesson I think they are still quite unfairly treated
分析問題靠賴堅實的客觀知識和基礎，因此學習歷史很重要。
The ability to analyse problems hinges on a solid base of objective knowledge . That is why the study of history is so important . The culture and history of China span some 5 000 years
但是，立法會始終是一個政治表達場地，議員無可避免地要談到政治。
But after all the Legislative Council is a venue for political expression and it is unavoidable for Members to touch on politics in the discussion
我想說的是，一個人對政治歷史常識的缺失確實會影響他對事情的判斷和理解。
What I want to say is that if a person lacks general knowledge in politics and history his judgment and understanding would be affected
秦始皇不單是中國第一位皇帝，正正由於秦始皇開疆闢土，令香港在2,000多年前已納入中國版圖，這是鐵一般的事實。
Qin Shi Huang was not only the first emperor of China but also the person who made Hong Kong become part of China more than 2 000 years ago through his military conquests to open up territories
這事說明客觀事實對我們分析問題很重要。
As shown by this episode objective facts are crucial when it comes to analysing problems
另外，我留意到有些議員一見"中國"二字，便會出現過敏反應，像吃了壞東西，又會出現一些思維錯亂的看法。
Separately I note that some Members will overreact whenever the word China is mentioned as if they have eaten rotten food or become schizophrenic
其一是將國民教育和中史科混為一談，當然，我個人非常支持推行國民教育，亦請局長思考應如何進行。
A case in point is mixing up national education with Chinese History . Surely I personally strongly support the implementation of national education and would like to invite the Secretary to consider how the matter should be taken forward
一扯到國民教育，他們便會說中史科其中一個教學目的是國民身份認同，頓時將問題政治化、妖魔化，說甚麼"洗腦"之類可怕的事情。
As I said once the issue of national education is raised some Members would say that one of the objectives of teaching Chinese history is to enhance students sense of national identity . They would immediately politicize or demonize the matter labelling it as something terrible like brainwashing
然而，國民身份認同其實在公民教育科的課程大綱同樣是重點目標之一。
As a matter of fact one of the main objectives under the curriculum guide of civic education is also to enhance students sense of national identity
剛才陳淑莊議員亦提及，她身為公民黨議員，難道公民黨又要廢除公民教育嗎？
A moment ago Ms Tanya CHAN has mentioned a similar point . Being a member of the Civic Party does she mean that the Civic Party also wants to abolish the teaching of civic education?
另外，朱凱廸議員提到國家有一些政策，又或有些學者曾提到，希望人心回歸。
Separately Mr CHU Hoi - dick said that the country has some policies on or some scholars have advocated the reunification of peoples hearts
香港的土地回歸國家後，人心回歸又有甚麼問題？
After the return of Hong Kongs territory to China what is wrong with the reunification of peoples hearts?
假如他不是中國人，為何他有資格參選，成為立法會議員？
If he is not a Chinese why was he qualified to run for the election and how did he become a Member of the Legislative Council?
我很希望他有機會能夠回應一下。
I really hope he can respond to my questions should the opportunity arise
唐太宗曾說自己有"三鏡"："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。
Tang Taizong once said he had three mirrors . 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
他的智慧和說話，猶如我們今天社會上成功人士的典範；他也說做人處世有3面鏡，其中一面鏡就是歷史。
Even to this day his intelligence and words of wisdom are still exemplary similar to the models set by successful people in the present society . When contemplating how to conduct himself Tang Taizong also said he would make reference to three mirrors and one of which is history
所以，我們不能忘卻歷史。
That is why we cannot forget history
當然，我不會把政治問題與這件事緊扣一起，例如是否應教授新中國歷史之類，但所有歷史一籃子都需要學習。
Of course I will not bundle political issues with this matter say whether the history of new China should be taught and so on . But I think students should learn history in a holistic manner
有些近代歷史事件，黑白是非應如何釐清，可能要讓它們慢慢沉澱，才看得更清楚。
Regarding some contemporary historical events how should right and wrong be determined it may take time for things to settle before the truth can be revealed more clearly
所以，我認為學習歷史應該作全面觀，由遠至近，全部歷史事件均需要理解，並按學生的學習階段逐步教授，不能走馬看花。
So I think students should study history in a holistic manner so that they can fully understand all historical events from ancient to contemporary times . Chinese History should be taught in a progressive manner during all stages of learning rather than in a fleeting or superficial manner
主席，我自小修讀歷史，由初中時代開始讀殖民地歷史、抗日歷史以至近代中國史，我的感受甚深。
President I studied history when I was young . I started learning colonial history at junior secondary level followed by the history of anti - Japanese wars and contemporary Chinese history . Thus I have strong feelings towards Chinese history
