Coming to Xi'an early on a winter morning, you will see the Terracotta Warriors come to life

Who would have thought that on my third visit to the Terracotta Warriors of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, I would witness for the first time the miraculous sight of golden light shining on the warriors. When a slanting ray of golden morning sunlight shines into the Terracotta Warrior pit, brushing over the shoulder armor and faces of those clay soldiers, it seems to instantly breathe warmth and life into the sleeping army. This golden light, crossing two thousand years, feels as if the once invincible Qin army has been resurrected. “Brave old Qin, united in national crisis. Blood not dried, the battle does not cease! In the west lies Great Qin, rising like the sun. A century of national hatred, the vast sea cannot calm. The world is in turmoil, how can there be peace? Qin has sharp warriors, who dares to contend for supremacy!” At this moment, the army song of the Great Qin Empire from the series "The Qin Empire" rings in my mind. Thousands of clay warriors and horses stand in solemn formation, the neighing of warhorses, the clinking of armor, and the fluttering of banners in the wind. This beam of light is like a key connecting time and space, unlocking a floodgate of imagination.
