Emperor Qin Shi Huang Di was a terrible leader of Ancient China. During his reign, he was powerful, murderous, and cruel.

Based on the evidence I found, the emperor was powerful. This would be a good thing, although, being a powerful leader means that people could not really stand up to him. According to a noble who plotted against him, “(my) tongue was cut out, (I) was tattooed on the forehead, (my) nose was cut off and (my) neck, arms and legs were tied to horses who were then all made to run in different directions.” One very rich man became poor under Qin’s rule. Here is what he had to say, “(I) became poor once Qin came to power and created coins that made the tin and shells worthless.” This shows how much impact Qin had on people's lives. …show more content…
One individual that came up was a Widow. She said, “(I) wasn't allowed to remarry after husband died.” This does not seem like a big deal but she also talks about her struggles, “(widows) had difficulty finding food and having a place to live without a husband and especially if they didn't have a child.” This shows the struggles of widows back then because of Qin Shi Huang Di’s rules. This rule was almost completely unnecessary and he had no reason to make it. In the words of his psychiatrist, “Qin was cruel”. Women who didn't give him children were buried with him in the tomb. To hide the secrets of the tomb, craftspeople who had worked on it were also killed.” That is a completely unnecessary thing to do. Those women were there for no reason (guess because I can’t find an answer) and the craftspeople that had to work on it were killed just to keep the secrets of the tomb that one day was discovered. He also sent people, who were forced away from their homes to go work on a “useless” wall, said people in real life. All of this evidence shows how Qin Shi Huang Di was cruel because he made lives. The only logical explanation for this is that he was a cruel leader. He made widows fend for themselves and he got mad at women who didn’t give him children. Emperor Qin Shi Huang Di was a cruel and terrible
