The grandmaster of Asian comic art, Chen Uen, embarks on a journey in this comic biography tracing the footsteps of Qin Shihuang, the first emperor and unifier of China. Ying Zheng entered Chinese history as Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China. He was the first ruler in Chinese history to declare himself an emperor. At just 13 years old, he ascended to the throne in his home state of Qin. By the age of 39, he united China by conquering six neighboring states in a series of bloody campaigns, thus establishing the Qin Dynasty. He laid the foundations for cultural and administrative unity in China by standardizing the writing systems of the once-independent states into a single script and unifying the measurement units. He abolished feudalism and implemented administrative reforms.
