2,300 years ago a young boy comes to the throne of a minor Chinese State at the age of thirteen. Within twenty years he's achieved what had been impossible for a thousand - he unites seven warring states in to the nation we know today as China. He is Chin Shi Huang Di - the first emperor, builder of the Great Wall and the Terracotta Army. The legends abound - that in his quest for power, he slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, that he burned all the books of China, that he sought immortality in drugs and as a result went mad and that even in death his excesses continued. China: The First Emperor. The legend is true.
