The First Emperor — The Man Who Made China

Qin Shi Huang would be the First Emperor of China, The Man Who Made China.

Here is a realistic documentary that discloses the legend of a great warrior and what some might consider to be a ruthless tyrant. It’s the tale of a man who was driven to attain one enormous task, to build the greatest nation on earth. The vision that Qin Shi Huang possessed would eventually become a unified nation — the one we know as China.

This incredible docudrama vividly reconstructs the First Emperor of China and his effort to conquer the world. Professors articulate about the groundbreaking discovery of 1974, Qin’s legendary rise to power, and the perpetual legacy that he left behind.

In the spring of 1974, a group of farmers were digging a water well situated in the east of Xi’an, when they unearthed one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century — the now very famous Terracotta Army.

 Qin Shi Huang was king of the Chinese State of Qin from 246 B.C. to 221 B.C.  Very much a central figure in Chinese history, Qin Shi Huangdi would rule until his death in 210 B.C., at the age of 49.
