‘
Bad news. Your son died five years ago. His death was caused by over-fatigue because he worked too hard and
he could not get enough food to support his body. That’s why…’ The head laborer almost cried.
Wong’s mother started to cry too. She regretted allowing her son to help with building the Great Wall. She felt
disappointed by the Qin government. She did not know what to do. She just wanted to see her son.
When God saw what had happened, He also wanted to cry. Rain fell from the sky as God was crying. The
raindrops were very big, and heavier than people had ever seen. God thought that Wong was a good son and
Wong’s mother was a good mother, so God decided to let them meet each other. As the rain became heavier and
heavier, the sky became darker. Suddenly, a bright, strong beam appeared from the sky. Wong’s mother found
that she was under the beam and her feet were not touching the ground. She was flying up to the sky. When she
arrived at the sky, she found her son, Wong was waiting for her! Wong and his mother hugged each other
happily! When God saw this exciting and moving situation, He smiled! After that, Wong and his mother lived in
paradise happily ever after.
The Great Wall is the longest building in the world. Every stone of the Great Wall was laid with the blood
and sweat of the laborers. Next time you visit the Great Wall, apart from feeling how spectacular it is, you may
think about how hard it was the laborers worked building the Great Wall.
