The Rise and Fall of China's First Emperor

In 259 BC, a boy named Ying Zheng was born in the state of Qin in modern-day China. 

He was born into the royal family of the kingdom and ascended to the throne at the age of 13. 

For most people, becoming king would be the pinnacle of their achievements. However, this was not to be the case with the King of Qin. He would go on to achieve a status that there wasn’t even a word for.
