Leaving Everything Behind

    Once, tons of people compelled to work for the emperors ; once, they left everything behind just for commands --- Shi Huang - ti, the most famous tyrant in china's history , concentrated all of the power on himself.
    He created lost of criminal law, concluded some boring laws, such as entrance guard for eleven o'clock, if someone violated, they must severed their noses. ( because he was scared of someone was planning to usurp the throne )  Shi Huang - ti also burned thousands of books, in order to make his citizens lack of knowledge, so they won't criticize his mistakes. ( How  creative he is ! ) 
    Otherwise, the most significant and cruel command was that he made thousands of hundreds of citizens to build the Great Wall. The main reason was to defend the Huns in the north, but he never thinked of how ruthless he did done to his citizens. Chinese peasants were forced to leave their farms to the actual work of building the Great Wall with no payment to provide for their families. Chinese soldiers were also forced to leave their barracks to move the brickbats for the Great Wall. All of them have never seen seen their family again after they began to work. Some of them died by too weary, and some of them died strangely with no skeletons. 
   Under the oppressions, the workers have no choices. They would like to have democracy, but it seemed too far to them. Nowadays, I'm pretty glad to enjoy democracy of Taiwan.
