Dig into the Chinese myth of Lady Meng Jiang, and how her grief over the death of her husband brought down the Great Wall. -- Long ago, an emperor decided to build a great wall to protect his new empire and ensure his power. He ordered men across China to leave their homes and submit to the grueling labor required for its construction. As years passed and the wall grew, few returned home. But one worker’s death spelled trouble for the wall. Juwen Zhang shares the myth of the heartbroken Lady Meng Jiang and her sabotage.

The animation is really beautiful. I especially appreciate how the animator showed the emperor swooping in on the lady. That part gave me the creeps. Well done, animator.

I hear Genghis Khan only had to go through an unguarded gate that was strangely open and just rode in. That was how they got to invade, China.
