China is a sleeping lion. When it wakes up, the whole world will be shocked.
Saint Helena is about 2,000 kilometers away from the west coast of Africa. Due to its remote location, it was not discovered by a Portuguese navigator until the 16th century. In June 1815, the all-powerful French Emperor Napoleon I was forced to abdicate due to the disastrous defeat at Waterloo. In order to prevent his comeback, the countries of the victorious anti-French alliance exiled him to the remote and desolate island of St. Helena. At that time, this tiny land belonged to the British East India Company. It was sparsely populated, depressed and desolate. Napoleon and his party were accommodated in the "Longwood Villa" for East India Company employees, and his range of activities was restricted to 12 kilometers around the villa. Napoleon spent more than five years in exile here and died in 1821. The cause of death is still a mystery.
Now Napoleon’s body has been ceremoniously received by the French government. The burial place located on the edge of the mountain spring on the small island is now covered with flowers and green willows. Many foreign tourists come here and regard it as a place to remember the heroes of the past. The villa where Napoleon lived for more than five years is still well preserved and has become a holy place for history fans and military fans around the world. Longwood Villa also displays a chess set, a gift from one of Napoleon's loyal subordinates. Napoleon couldn't put it down and played with it almost every day, but he never discovered until his death that the escape map painstakingly drawn by his subordinates was hidden in the chess pieces! In the living room of this villa, Napoleon said perhaps the last famous saying in his life to Amherst, the British envoy to China, who came here because of his admiration: "China is a sleeping lion. When it wakes up, the whole world will Shocked."
