Li Shui & the Great Wall
King Hei Wong, Group 3: Fiction, Ying Wa College
housand years before, there was a young girl named Li Shui. She was the daughter of the officialdom.
Her father was cruel, insatiable, and selfish, he was obviously hated by the whole country. When Li
Shui mother gave birth to he, the midwife was shocked, so shocked that she couldn't even hold the
infant tight. Li Shui was like the fairy to the earth, she was so pretty that she couldn't believe Li Shui
was actually a human being. Li Shui father knew that she would make all those decisions against his
will in the future, yet, he knew it better that Li Shui would be the one that could save him from living in the
hatred.
Just like what her father had thought, as Li Shui grew older and older, prettier and prettier, she knew
more about the world, the government and her father, she started to argue with her father. She started with
arguing with her father, then joining an anti-government clique, and quickly became the one to lead the
organization. As she gradually became the biggest enemy of her father, her prestige went higher and higher, and
more and more people joined the organization she leaded. There were a few times that her father could catch her
evidence, but he didn't do so, because of how much he loved her, to be precise, how much he loved her for her
beauty, youth and her tender skin.
Many men was enchanted by her. She knew that most of them came for her outside, but not her
inside, she never gave any hope to them. Until one day, she met a men named Huang He, he had the same
thought as she did, they both didn’t like the country their living in, and started to talk about the government, the
emperor and the anti-government clique. Soon, Huang He fell in love with her, but in a different way, he
appreciated her, as a female, had such courage, bravery, and ambition. Li Shui could feel his crush, but she
wasn't sure, it was different from anything what she'd known and familiar with. There were some sorts of feeling
she didn't understand. It was awkward, a little bit uncomfortable, and embarrassed, but she liked it, it was
something she'd not tasted, tried with, it was new to her, and she knew that Huang He would be the Mr. Right
for her.
When they were having their wine, a servant of Li Shui came, interrupted them, and started to
whisper next to Li Shui ear. Li Shui was listening to his words carefully and the smile she had slowly went
down and left only wrinkles between her eyes. Huang He recognized it was something bad, and he asked Li
Shui about it, "Li, what is the matter, I will surely help you if I could." Li Shui looked in his eyes, she saw no
threaten and lies in it, and said, " You recognized, yes, it is something bad coming. I should maybe tell you who
I am...”
“
MASTER LI! WE COULDN'T TRUST THIS PERSON YET, WE KNOW TOO LESS ABOUT
HIM SO FAR, IF WE EXPOSE OURSELVES, BOTH YOU AND ME...AND EVERYONE ELSE WILL
HAVE TO FACE THE DEATH SENTENCE.” Her savant warned.
“
It’s alright, I’ve known him enough, he has the same mind as I do.” Li Shui explained.
“
But…” Her savant continued.
“
Enough!” Li Shui shouted, Her savant went quiet, she continued “Where was I? Right, it was
something really bad. Qin Emperor announced the creation of the “Great Wall”, it was for the protection from
Tu Que’s invasion. The creation needs many people, and the families will loses their mainstay, people may also
lose their lives.” Huang He nodded. Li Shui sighed and continued, “ I’m actually the leader of the
anti-government clique. We knew about the creation about the Great Wall long ago. We have been planning to
overthrow the government, and we have planned to start from sneaking into the building of the Great Wall and
rope in more people to help us. But the government’s announcement is above our schedule, we haven’t decided
where to sneak in yet…Maybe I should go…”
Her savant was speechless, Li Shui could see something in her eyes, she knew better than anyone
else that if she went to the building of the great wall, she had to face more than she could, she was even a
woman, she needed to pretend to be a man to sneak in, it wasn’t anything she could handle by herself, but she
knew that if she wouldn’t go, there would be no one to go. They stayed silence for some time. “I’ll go.” Huang
He said. Li Shui was surprised, she couldn’t speak, she knows that Huang He could be the perfect man, but her
love in him, made her hesitate.
“
Damn! Why didn’t I kill that Qin!” Li’s servant suddenly said. Li Shui off course knew that would
be the best way and the only direct way to overthrow the dynasty. But how could one approach the emperor so
easily. Li Shui looked at Huang He, he looked worried too, he seemed to have the same thoughts as Li Shui did.
Suddenly, she remembered that her father said that he would meet the emperor today, to discuss about the Great
