I wrote a post about my recent trip to Xi'an and the window closed without me being able to finish posting.
So I'm not going to rewrite everything.
I will summarize everything I said with 1 video and a sentence.
WU ZE TIAN is AWESOME. This is a total FOB drama but I LOVED it as a child. Plus the song is awesome and I will sing it at Cashbox!! (with my parents because they watched this over and over when I was a kid). lol.
Okay, maybe a few more words.
I used to watch movies and documentaries about her all the time as a kid. I'm fascinated by her. She was the first woman to break the glass cieling for women and was the first feminist in China. She tried to empower women by giving them more credit for the things that they accomplished, and balanced the noble classes by forcing everyone to take an exam before being qualified to be placed in an official position -- which gave chances to the poor but intelligent and hard working. She was no more "evil" than any other male Emperor, but was ostracized in history only because she was a woman. There are hundreds of evil Emperors and Eunuchs that did much much more horrible things. Additionally, she killed no more innocent people than the Qin Shi Huang Di, the first Emperor of China.
Anyways, she's amazing. I wish I could get every piece of literature about her history and her life.
