What is a nickname for the Great Wall of China because so many people died building it?
I’m surprised to know there are many students have been taught at schools outside China about this nickname. But I don’t think there have a common sense about it since I searched it on the Internet and very little results found, which are not on official websites. So I’m here to justify this false belief, to tell people that the Great Wall has very important position in Chinese people’s mind. As it is deeply rooted in Chinese history, it became a symbol of cohesion. Please don’t let someones misunderstandings affect your judgement. What in past is past, if people keep asking a nickname of this history, I offer my personal suggestion, call it “Sorrow of one Dynasty”.
