The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe. It has a length of 21,196 km. It was constructed mainly during the mighty Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and lasted until 1878 in the Qing Dynasty.
This great wall still stands today and is recognized as one of the world's greatest and one of the most known piece of Chinese ancient history.
This great wall has contributed lots to human relationships and has been full of importance to it. For it has guarded the people of China safely from invaders for more than centuries. It is a reminder to us that our ancestors before not only cared for themselves but for the people who will lead the next generations. With this piece of history that has lived throughout the years we could really see how the people before struggled through their trials, the pain from the risks that they have taken and also how they have overcome. Without the wall China might not be what it is today.
If I were to pick between mending walls or building bridges in human relationships, I would prefer to build bridges. If you wonder why I choose to build bridges instead of mending walls? Its because what i personally believe that we are all created for a purpose and that is to help others. We wont be able to live only by ourselves even if how hard we try to deny it because we dont posses certain skills that we need to survive just by on our own. With the connections and the relationships that we have built with people we can surely live through our lives and become progressive in the things that we ought to do.
