【Suggested version】Protecting the cultural heritage is the responsibility for every citizens. As a citizen, we should first get familiar with the related laws and regulations of heritage protection as well as how they protect the cultural heritage. Second, we, ourselves should make struggle from now on, and never do those things that go against cultural heritage protection, but we should go against those actions that damage the cultural heritage.
Educators as the dominator of education, should shoulder the responsibility to enhance the awareness of the students and get them to know the importance of protecting cultural heritage. During this process, developing school-based curriculum is at a important place. By doing so, the spirits and ideology contained in cultural heritage can exert substantial potential positives on their way going forward.
