Features: Genghis Khan, Temujin, was a giant who grew up from hardship. He struggled through adversity and finally unified Mongolia, intimidating the continents of Europe and Asia. His achievements are a miracle in Chinese history. The place where Temujin grew up in his childhood—Mongolia—was still a world where strength of bow and arrow spoke. To say, his background was not bad. He grew up in a middle-to-upper-class family that had several generations serving as the Mongol Khan. However, the hardships and suffering he faced in his childhood were beyond imagination. The reason was that his father, Yesügei, died too young. Through his relentless struggle and the loyal help of a few good friends, Temujin finally won glorious victory in this Mongol khaganate succession war. Then, his gaze turned to the world beyond Mongolia. Not only did the small kingdoms around him submit one by one under his spear, but his reputation even spread across the continents of Europe and Asia, laying the foundation for the great empire of the nomadic "Yuan" people.
