Soldiers from the Han dynasty were sent to work on the wall for two to five years (Doc E). All these men didn’t really have to be there, they could have been working in the fields to produce food for the people since nobody was doing that. 300,000 men from the Qin dynasty were sent to work on the wall and guard it. This would split families apart, and a majority of the men would end up dying from starvation or extreme temperatures anyway (Doc E). Most men were forced to move away from their homes and families to work on the wall (Doc F). These men would move away and end up doing so much or so little work that they die there and never get to return
