China's imperial age of dynasties and emperors lasted to the 20th century. Here you will meet young people like Chao, a papermaker's son and Baozhai, a talented poet. Spend time with a hardworking student, a soldier stationed on the Great Wall, a silk maker's daughter and boys travelling the Silk Road.
