Lady Meng Jiang

Lady Meng Jiang: I am the wife of a man who died while working on the Great Wall of China. I am here to bring him winter clothes and to mourn his death. The Great Wall: I am the Great Wall of China. I am strong and mighty, but I am also a place of sadness and death. The Emperor: I am the Emperor of China. I ordered the Great Wall to be built, and I am responsible for the deaths of many men. The Workers: We are the workers who built the Great Wall. We are tired, we are hungry, and we are often treated poorly. The People: We are the people of China. We are proud of the Great Wall, but we also mourn the loss of the men who died building it.
