Thousands of miles to repair books just for the wall,
What's wrong with making him three feet?
The Great Wall of Wan Li still exists today.
I didn't see Qin Shihuang.
Translation:
Send a letter thousands of miles, just because of the wall.
What does it matter if he is three feet?
The Great Wall of Wan Li is still here today.
But I will never see Qin Shihuang again.
