THE GREAT QIN

A prisoner of war named "Heifu" survived desperate circumstances thanks to his tile-making skills, as Qin law granted him the opportunity to earn merit and gain citizenship. While participating in the construction of the royal capital, Heifu was ennobled for saving the emperor from an assassin's blade. Driven by the ideal of "eternal peace" for the Qin empire, Heifu ultimately fell in the campaign for unification, becoming one of the countless unnamed Qin soldiers immortalized as terracotta warriors guarding Chinese civilization. The stubborn resilience of old Qin people, their tenacity for reform, and their vision of "uniting all under heaven" ultimately forged the enduring spirit that has sustained the Chinese nation for millennia.
