以史為鑒、面向未來 take history as a mirror and face forward to the future，learn from history and face up to the future
正確對待歷史face up to history
只有一個尊重歷史的國家、敢于對歷史負責的國家、能夠贏得亞洲以至于世界人民信任的國家，才能夠在國際社會發揮更大作用。Only a country that respects history, takes responsibility for past history and wins over the trust of people in Asia and the world at large can take greater responsibility in the international community."（溫家寶總理）
