Dig into the Chinese myth of Lady Meng Jiang, and how her grief over the death of her husband brought down the Great Wall. -- Long ago, an emperor decided to build a great wall to protect his new empire and ensure his power. He ordered men across China to leave their homes and submit to the grueling labor required for its construction. As years passed and the wall grew, few returned home. But one worker’s death spelled trouble for the wall. Juwen Zhang shares the myth of the heartbroken Lady Meng Jiang and her sabotage. Lesson by Juwen Zhang, directed by Raghav Arumugam, Jagriti Khirwar.
