LETTER HOME

 

             Dear Mom and Dad,

 

                       Experiencing China has been so exciting! It has been a great and interesting

                       opportunity! In my time here I have expierenced the awful book burnings, i

                       tried out the new way of standerdization, and there has been talk of a new wall

                       that is going to be put up to protect the people of the Qin dynasty from Korea.

 

                      Experiencing the book burnings has been very horrific. I have seen scholars being

                      taken out of their homes and led to their death of a live burial with many others. It has

                      been awful and horrific to watch. I try to keep a low profile during these times and say

                      positive things about emperor Qin Shi Huang when i have the opportunity. Experencing

                      these times have been ver hard and emotionally scarring.

 

 

                      Being able to live in the new way of standerdization I have realiezed how much easier

                      it is. Everything seems more peaceful, and trading has greatly increased, and

                      communication ahs become much easier. Standerdizing the basic forms of measurment,

                      currency, writing, and weights has made trading easier because people can

                      communicate easier. No matter where you ar ein China you will be able to

                      communicate with whoever you want as loong as they live here and know the standard

                      language. Standerdizing the basic measurments, and forms of communication has

                      made a lot of things easier.

 

 

                      There has been talk of a new wall going up! This is very exciting. People have been

                       talking of putting up a new wall to protect the Qin Dynasty from Korea. People have

                       been calling it the "The Great Wall". It is Suppose to strech along the North West side

                       of the dynasty, and be so tall and strong that nobody will be able to go through or over

                       it. It is a very exciting event to look forward to in the Qin Dynasty!

     

                                                                    Love,

                                                                          Lily
