Great Wall of China – Biggest Hoax in Chinese History?

The Great Wall is one of the most iconic symbols of China. Some Chinese people claim that the wall is visible from space, while others assert that deceased builders were buried within its foundations. Interestingly, the battlements on the walls face south, leading some to speculate that the Chinese didn’t build it. It’s also curious that although the wall was supposedly constructed 2,000 years ago, medieval travelers didn’t mention it in their diaries. And overall, it was considered useless, never actually protecting anyone from anything. In short, like any ancient structure, the Great Wall of China is surrounded by many strange facts and legends.

Ever read Prof Joseph Needham’s 27 volumes of Science and Civilisation in China ? China has no knowledge of Science when Europe was having her “Industrial Revolution “???

There are also an English academic who spouted rubbish that the England’s Opium Wars were to help China with her Opium problem !!!!

All the narratives are so biased and stinks like manure. The Great Wall is a standing solid long dragon of the greatest continual histories of the Chinese people. Fast forward today, Chinese are ahead in every field or endeavors. The Western Democracy is a failure in every respect but a greedy, exploiting system to oppress the weak countries including China in her years of humiliations. Wake up to reality and get real, the West will fall like a despicable dog for all the immorality and atrocities to humanity.

Ignorance has its own algorithm. One notable example is selective blindness. The Qing dynasty (Manchurian) were so proud of the facts that they were able to subjugate the Chinese for centuries. Therefore, little British isles, so far away were no biggie for them. Similar to the Roman wall in the Britain, the French Maginot Line were defensive concepts. Wars are dynamic, adapting to what not available and maneuvering to what’s given by the enemies. As to rebuild it, the cost of building with mud and sand, may cause instability to the wall itself (using the local sand and mud) while labor cost, probably more expensive. On the other hands, the old generals probably cut their building budgets to enrich himself by using mud and sand. The Chinese tourism ministry reported approximately 20, 000, 000 visitors annually, causing extreme damages to the structure. With that in minds, will you rebuild it with mud and sand, unreliability and safety concerns for the tourists…have to be considered? If I were them, I will probably leave some sections not repaired for historical purposes and future researches. I will definitely try to strengthen the wall as much as possible for tourists. Yes, it was a wall of feared and despair. It remains a valuable lesson for the Chinese and the world to learn. Who knows, it might be a symbol for unity worldwide. Do not fear us; let’s be friends type of Wall…someday.
