Meng Jiangnu cry the Great Wall
|

|
This story happened during the Qin Dynasty .There was once an old man named Meng who lived with his wife. One spring, Meng sowed a seed of bottle gourd in his yard. Like Meng, Jiang had no children and so he became very fond of the plant. He watered and took care of the plant. Jiang plucked it off the vine, and the two old men decided to cut the gourd and divide it by half. To their surprise when they cut the gourd a pretty and lovely girl was lying inside! They named the girl Meng Jiangnu, which means Meng and Jiang's daughter. Meng Jiangnu was very smart and industrious. One day while playing in the yard, Meng Jiangnu saw a young man hiding in the garden. At that time, Emperor Qin Shihuang announced to build the Great Wall. Fan Qiliang was an intellectual man and very afraid of being caught, so he went to Meng's house to hide from the officials. Meng and Jiang liked this young man. They decided to wed their daughter to him. The couple was married several days later. However, Fan Qiliang was taken away to build the Great Wall. It was a hard time for Meng Jiangnu missed her husband and cried nearly every day. She decided to set off to look for him. She climbed over mountains and went through the rivers. She walked day and night, slipping and falling many times, but finally she reached the foot of the Great Wall at the present Shanhaiguan Pass. However, that Fan Qiliang had already died of exhaustion and was buried into the Great Wall! Meng Jiangnu could not help crying , Suddenly with a tremendous noise, a 400 kilometer-long section of the Great Wall collapsed over her bitter wail. At the first sight of Meng Jiangnu, Emperor Qin Shihuang was attracted by her beauty. Instead of killing her, the Emperor asked Meng Jiangnu to marry him. After all the terms were met, Emperor Qin Shihuang was ready to take her to his palace. When the guarders were not watching, she suddenly turned around and jumped into the nearby Bohai Sea. In memory of Meng Jiangnu, later generations built a temple, called the Jiangnu Temple, at the foot of the Great Wall in which a statue of Meng Jiangnu is located.
