既然要古代的,就换个秦始皇的好了:

Qin Shi Huangdi, First Emperor

A ruler from the western state of Qin united and subjugated the Warring States and formed China in 221 B.C. He declared himself the first emperor of China and named himself Shi Huangdi (meaning First Emperor).

During the Qin (Ch'in) Dynasty (221 B.C. - 206 B.C.), the emperor connected and extended the old fortification walls along the north of China that originated about 700 B.C. (over 2500 years ago), forming the Great Wall of China to stop invading barbarians from the north.

The Emperor standardized writing, bureaucracy, scholarship, law, currency, weights and measures. He expanded the empire, built a capital in Xian, a system of roads, and massive fortifications and palaces.

Shi Huangdi (259-210 B.C.) was a cruel ruler who readily killed or banished those who opposed him or his ideas. He is notorious for burning virtually all the books that remained from previous regimes. He even banned scholarly discussions of the past.

The Qin dynasty ended soon after his death, but a unified China remained for over 2,000 years. China's name is derived from his short but seminal dynasty, Qin (pronounced Chin).

补充个历史事件:

The Long March (traditional : 长征; simplified : 长征; pinyin: Chángzhēng) was a massive military retreat undertaken by the Red Armies of the munist Party, the forerunner of the People's Liberation Army, to evade the pursuit of the Kuomintang (KMT or Nationalist Party) army. There was not one Long March, but several, as various munist armies in the south escaped to the north and west. The most well known is the march from Jiangxi province which began in October 1934. The First Front Army of the Soviet Republic, led by an inexperienced military mission, was on the brink of plete annihilation by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's troops in their stronghold in Jiangxi province. The munists, under the eventual mand of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, escaped in a circling retreat to the west and north, which reportedly traversed some 12,500 kilometers (8,000 miles) over 370 days.[1] The route passed through some of the most difficult terrain of western China by traveling west, then north, to Shaanxi.
