“Are princes, marquises, and generals born into their status?” Not only is this a rallying cry against the oppressive Qin tyranny, but it is also the source of the spirit of equality and resistance in Chinese civilization.

As Lu Xun said: “Since ancient times, we have had people who work hard and persevere... This is the backbone of China.” Chen Sheng is precisely the first vertebra of this backbone.
