Interact long enough with any Chinese (here I mean China Chinese, not overseas Chinese like me) and you will find many of them well-versed with the 5000-over years of Chinese history. In particular, many will jump right in to discussion of what happened or should had happened with much vigor and authority.
Chinese are very retrospective people. Often time they will refer to an historical event and dissect on end. Not able to add to the discussion, most of the time I just sat and listen.
The need to brush up on my Chinese history is obvious.
