severe loss of many farmers, food supply was inadequate and unstable which caused extreme famine. Due to the
limited food supply, workers of the masterpiece were fed on grains provided by the government. However, most
of them were under fed while working on the colossal structure which brought them to death. For all those
wives who had lost their sons and husbands, life was very harsh for them afterwards.
Conclusion
Through all these years, the Great wall is still standing tall waiting for people to walk along the magnificent
creation. If it wasn’t for Qin Shi Huang, China might not be here today and the Great wall would never exist.
Even when China was in slavery, they still built the wall for the sake of their country and despite the difficulties
faced beyond their capabilities. Because of the slavery, the insufficient food supply and many labourers were
starved to death. All these years, the wall was built and rebuilt over and over again to protect from them from
the northern nomads. If we do not care and restore the walls, in a few centuries, all the hard work the ancestors
put into it would be wasted.
