In the long history of China, there are many heroic and warlike figures, the two most famous of which are the great general Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty and the assassin Jing Ke of the Warring States Period. They each represent two distinct roles in Chinese history – a powerful commander and a desperate assassin.
In 237 BC, in the process of unifying the Six Kingdoms, a man named Li Mu of Zhao resisted the invasion of the Qin army with his resourcefulness. However, after a great battle, Li Mu was captured and forced to surrender to Qin Shi Huang. At this time, it is time for Wang Jian to appear. He led the Qin army to besiege the city of Handan and began a protracted siege. However, Wang Jian was not in a hurry to attack, but chose to wait patiently, knowing that only when there was no food and water in the city would the enemy take the initiative to come out and surrender. Sure enough, after several months of hardship, the people of Zhao finally reluctantly opened the city gate to welcome the surrender.
In this war, Wang Jian showed his thoughtfulness and tenacity, winning the battle with wisdom rather than violence. On the other side, Jing Ke is a completely different type of hero. He was a famous man during the Warring States period and a well-known assassin at the time. It is said that in order to help Yan Prince Dan assassinate King Yingzheng of Qin, he did not hesitate to venture into the enemy's territory and prepared to face the great monarch alone.
Jing Ke's story is shocking. He was a man of courage and determination, willing to risk his life to accomplish a seemingly impossible task. Although his plan failed in the end, his spirit touched many people deeply. Whether it is Wang Jian or Jing Ke, they both represent a unique quality - bravery, perseverance, and a sense of responsibility to the country and the people.
Whether it is the military strategist Wang Jian or the assassin Jing Ke, their stories are full of thrilling plots and deeply touching emotions. They have left a deep mark on history and have become heroes in the hearts of the Chinese people. Everyone can learn something from their deeds, such as the determination to persevere to the end, the spirit of not being afraid of difficulties, and the deep patriotic feelings. That's what we've learned from these legends, and it's something we should always remember.
