Five Thousand Years of History in Short Videos: Qin Shi Huang Loses It

“I’m Li Heng, an ordinary college student. My only hobby is scrolling through short videos.

Then one day, Qin Shi Huang tipped one of my videos, Emperor Wu of Han argued with Li Shimin in the comments, Zhu Yuanzhang reported He Shen under his real name, and Qianlong kept tagging me, demanding that I get on the trending page...

I thought it was just netizens messing around, but I had no idea

my Douyin account was livestreaming simultaneously across five thousand years of Chinese history.

And the number of views determined the fate of the nation.”
