Genghis Khan

　　Genghis Khan, the great Mongol conqueror, was born in about 1162. His father, a petty Mongol chieftain, named the boy Temujin, after a defeated rival chieftain, and for some years the surviving members of the family lived m constant danger and poverty. This was just the beginning, Temujin's situation was to become a lot worse before it got better. When he was a young man, he was captured in a attack by a rival tribe. To prevent his escaping, a wooden collar was placed around his neck. From then on, he was kept as a prisoner in a primitive, barren country, There Temujin rose to become the most powerful man in the world.

　　His rise started when he managed to escape from his captors. He then allied himself with Toghril, a friend of his father's, and chieftain of one of the related tribes living in the area. There followed many years of cruel warfare among these various Mongol tribes, in the course of which Temujin gradually fought his way to the top. The tribesmen of Mongolia had long been known as skilled horsemen and fierce warriors. Throughout history, they had made unexpected attacks into northern China. However, before the rise of Temujin, the various tribes had always spent most of their energy in fighting each other. By a combination of military power, diplomacy, ruthlessness and organizational ability, Temujin managed to join all of these tribes together under his leadership, and in 1206 a meeting of the Monglo chieftains proclaimed him Genghis Khan, or “the universal emperor”.

　　The powerful military machine that Genghis Khan had assembled was then turned outward upon neighboring nations. He first attacked the Western Xia state in northwestern China and the Jin Empire in northern China. While these battles were going on, a strong disagreement arose between Genghis Khan and the Khwarezm Shah Muhammad, who ruled a considerable empire in Persia and central Asia. In 1219, Genghis led his armies against the Khwarezm Shah. Central Asia and Persia were overrun, and the Khwarezm Shah's empire was completely destroyed. While other Mongol armies were attacking Russia, Genghis Khan himself led a raid into Afghanistan and northern India. He returned to Mongolia in 1225, and died there in 1227.

　　The Great Wall of China, the longest wall in the world, runs across north China like a huge dragon. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts over mountains, through valleys, till at last it reaches the sea. It in one of the wonders of the world. And it was one of the few man-made objects on earth that could be seen by the astronauts who landed on the moon.

　　The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period (770 B. C～476 B. C.). During the Warring States Period (475 B. C.～221 B.C.), more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. In 221 B. C. the kingdom of Qin united the different parts of China into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up. Thus the Great Wall came into being. Since then, it has often been added to, rebuilt and repaired, especially during the Ming Dynasty (1368 ～1644).

　　The Great Wall, which is called in Chinese “The Ten-thou-sand-li Great Wall”, is actually more than 6000 kilometers long, 6～7 meters high and 4～5 meters wide. In most places it is wide enough for five horses or ten men to walk side by side along the top. It has great gateways which connect the main roads of north China.

　　Every few hundred meters along the wall there are watch towers, where soldiers used to keep watch. When the enemy came, fires were lit and at the same time guns were fired to warn soldiers at other towers, one column of smoke with one gunshot meant an enemy troop of about 100, two columns with two shots meant 500. In this way, a warning message could be sent 500 kilometers within a few hours.

　　It was very difficult to build and rebuilt such a great wall over wild and distant country without any modern machines, all the work had to be done by hand. Many people were forced to work in the wall far away from their homes. They lifted earth in baskets, passed bricks from hand to hand and dragged heavy stones with ropes over their shoulders. Their living conditions were terrible. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

　　After the Great Wall was rebuilt hundreds of years ago, no more work was done on it until the People's Republic of China was founded. After that, parts of the wall were repaired. On both sides of it new cities appeared, trees were planted, and deserts became grasslands. The old Great Wall took on a new look.

　　Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese people, but also to the people from all over the world.
