Obituary
Emperor Qin Shi huangdi, a respected and admired man, was our emporer up until his untimely death. He leaves behind a legacy of mighty leadership, and grand construction. Shi huangdi brought military strength and success to China, and in doing so, developed quite a few enemies. But even they would not deny the fact that Shi huangdi was an impressive leader.
In his wake he leaves behind one of the greatest structures the world will ever know. A magnificant barrier now stands tall and defends China against foreign devils. It stretches 4000km around China.
Shi huangdi also made China strong not only by protecting it from the outside, but by uniting it on the inside. Huangdi unified China's people by creating one form of writing for all people, one set of measurements, and one form of coinage. Huangdi also unified China's religion, banishing all of the destructive local worship.
His death is not without its own grandier however. By the age of thirteen, Shi huangdi was allready planning for his death. His wonderous tomb is outfitted with the latest in robber-destroying booby traps, huge models of his favourite cities and to top it off, an entire army of soldiers to protect his grandure in the next life.
