back standing on the proud Great Wall, with its icy air, wonderful view, and collapsed secret
room. I looked again, remembering the thoughts that passed my brain about cooperation. No,
it wasn’t stones or earth that supported this magnificent wall, it was teamwork. I quietly
unraveled the note:
Dear descendant,
You have proved yourself brave, clever, resourceful and is fully worthy of this Jade
Stamp of official judgment which once belonged to me, and the huge diamond that once
belonged in my treasury.
Qin Shi Huang, the Eternal Emperor
I stared at the stamp, the note, and the diamond.
