Uncle,
I will like to take you back to the first dynasty of
China, where Qin Shi Huang managed to harmonise the whole of china
from it war torn separated states that gives no peace for
years to it common peoples. However Qin being in power, was an envy
of many and also his enemy. An assassination attempt on his life
failed but the assassin managed to escape, so a wanted list of a
thousand gold taels to be rewarded to whoever capture him, and also
the person gets to see the emperor himself by presenting the
Emperor with the head of the assassin....
Part 2
A plot for assassin the emperor was then set up by the
emperor enemy, they managed to persuade the first assassin to give
up his life so that another person can bring his head to the
emperor, thereby get a chance to be near the emperor and kill him.
The first being tire of life and failure agreed, but before he
allow his head to be chopped, he paid a visit to his homeland,
visited his parents, relatives and his peoples, he found that
all are living in better condition then during those worn torn
years when Qin was not in power. When he returned for his last day,
he gave an advice to the person who is going bring his head to the
emperor and kill the emperor, ...
Part 3
The advice is two words "Heaven and Earth" let there be peace,
before you kill the emperor, remember what i
said, the person agreed and chop off his head. So,
carrying the head, that person went to see the emperor, the
emperor was delighted and invited him in while calling all his
guards to stay outside, the person then taking this opportunity of
being with the emperor alone, took a sword and attacked the
emperor, but just as the sword was about to enter
the emperor heart, he recalled that advice, "Heaven and Earth,
let there be peace" and retrieved his sword, the emperor
was both shock and fascinated, he asked why you dun kill me,
you all had sacrifice so much and now it is your chance, the
person replied, "For Heaven and Earth, and for peace,
I let you go" with that he left but was killed by his own
people for the failure.
From then on, the emperor truly understand that there is
hero in our society, true hero that fight for peace in heaven and
earth, that even they forgo their revengeful urge and power
struggle just for peace.
