Great Wall- Hi, I’m Su Zhi, and I’m one of the workers working on the Great Wall of China in 220 BCE during the Qin dynasty. Shi Huandgi is forcing us make it. It is horrible because we have so much work to do all the time. If we ever complain, Shi Huandgi will order us killed and we will be buried into the wall. It is very hard work, and I can’t wait for the work to be done. Shi Huandgi is building the wall to unite China more. He is doing it by linking together already existing walls that were protecting certain regions in China. Shi Huandgi is also putting the walls up to keep nomads and other people out, and to keep us in. It is the biggest building accomplishment in Chinese history so far.
