4. How interested are people in the history of where they live?
I believe that people are very interested and proud of their local history. People always feel attached
to their hometown and their roots. People enjoy promoting their local area, and if the region played
an important role in history, people will happily remind you of this.In my city, I think people are
only recently beginning to feel more fascinated by the past. In the last 30 years, people were more
concerned about the future, and the development of theurban area. This is why they kind of forgot
to protect old buildings and old neighborhoods
．
But as you say in English: "Better late than never."
5. How important are historical monuments for attracting tourists to a country?
Extremely important
！
Thousands of people come to China to climb the Great Wall and visit the
Forbidden City, or the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an. These monuments symbolize
Chinese culture,
and this is what tourists want to see when they come to my country. But it's the same everywhere.
If anyone goes to Europe, they won't miss the Eiffel Tower, the BigBen and the Coliseum in Rome.
They are prestigious cultural legacies from the past. And they definitely attract visitors.
6. In what ways does oral history add to knowledge about the past?
Well, personal stories can illustrate facts and give information that is not available in history
books. Oral history is lively and full of details. Learning history through a story can make it more
memorable.

＋
touching
·
I would like to interview him: about what?
·
He's extremely appreciated
＝
he's a model
Let me tell you about Premier Wen Jiabao who is serving as the head of the Chinese
government. Mr. Wen used to be a geologist and an engineer in Gansu Province, in western China,
before he took more political responsibilities in Beijing.
Premier Wen is famous for being soft-spoken and hard-working. I believe he is a very
considerate, very thoughtful leader, and this is why people admire him across the country. Our
domestic media call him "the people's Premier" and he always appears very close to the population.
I will never forget the images of him in Sichuan right after the earthquake that devastated the
region in 2008
．
He was the first politician to make the trip to the stricken area to support the
population and organize the rescue plan. I remember him talking with a megaphone to 2 children
who were stuck down in a well, and he introduced himself as "Grandpa Wen Jiabao"
．
It was so
moving.
I would really like to meet him to ask him many questions about China's development and
future
．
He is known to have a very tight bond
（＝
relationship) with President Hu Jintao, and I
would love to speak with them about contemporary
（＝
current) issues such as education and
unemployment.
I think that everyone trusts Premier Wen Jiabao in China, and he is appreciated for all his
qualities. I think that leaders should always reflect
（＝
symbolize) important values. I lookup to him,
and I regard him as a role model
．
I wish I could become as wise and influential in the future.
