It is always inspiring to read about great people and learn their stories. Recently, I read about Zhang Qian, the pioneer of the famous Silk Road. In order to help defeat his enemies, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to find the Yuezhi people. Unfortunately, Zhang Qian was caught by the enemy. It seemed impossible for him to finish his task or to return home. However, around 10 years later, he got a chance to run away, and he finally succeeded in finding the Yuezhi people. It was really brave and admirable that he never forgot his task, and his travel also brought back valuable information about the Western Regions. Later, he was sent to these places again to build relationships. Stories like this give us power and inspiration. It is important for us to understand the past and find ways to do more for a better future.
