: 5. If you could travel back in time to meet a famous person from history,
: what person would you like to meet? Use specific reasons and examples
: to support your choice.
If I could travel back in time to meet a famous person from history, I would
like to meet Confucius in the period of ancient China. There are some reasons
to support my choice.
First, because we inherit the ancient Chinese culture in Taiwan, we have to
learn a lot of knowledge of Confucianism from school here. It would be
fantastic and helpful if I had a chance to meet the person that the textbooks
always mention about. For example, I could ask him the questions that I didn’
t understand and even the teachers in school can’t explain them clearly.
Then, he could answer me directly and maybe we could have a discussion
furthermore. It would be helpful to my study and make me to learn more
besides the school.
Second, Confucianism affects all the Northeast area of Asia. That is, since
Confucianism is the core of culture in this area, the fundamental person,
Confucius is the most important person in the Northeast area of Asia. For
example, China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea are influenced with Confucianism. The
people have to read and even memorize the talk of Confucius in school, and we
follow the principles he mentioned about to live and deal with other people.
Therefore, he is just like our mental teacher and culture mentor. If I could
meet him in person and hade an opportunity to talk to him, it would
definitely bring some difference in my life and inspire me something new.
Because the two reasons I mentioned above, I would like to meet Confucius
if I could travel back in time. Although it is still impossible to travel
back in time now, I think this dream would become true soon since the rapid
development of technology. When I had a chance to meet Confucius in person, I
would ask him to sign for me of course!
