In the thirty-fifth year of the First Emperor's reign, the wind and snow in the north were as sharp as knives.
Bai Yan, a descendant of Bai Qi, the Lord of Wu'an, had a chivalrous nature and could not bear to be sent by officials to massacre the corvées. He mistakenly attempted to kill him while asking for theft, causing the family to be overthrown. His father, Bai Zhong, adhered to his ministerial integrity and took his son to restrain himself to deal with the crime, which was the last character of the whole family of meritorious officials.
According to Qin Jun's law, he should have abandoned the city after fighting against the officials. Fortunately, thanks to the influence of his ancestors, his sentence was reduced to Wancheng Dan. He left Jinyang in ocher clothes and traveled 800 miles north to the Great Wall, where he was reduced to hard labor.
At the foot of the Great Wall, the cold wind invades the bones, the slaves work like ants, the barbarians are constantly harassing, and the military law is strict. He took off his fine clothes and fine food, held the pestle and built a building, and stood up in the cold wind and snow to protect the weak, join forces with his colleagues, inherit the heritage of the general sect, and sharpen his character on the edge of life and death.
