For Fan Dian, a 20-year-old student from Kunming, Yunnan province, the experience was emotional and immersive. When she visited Zhuge Liang's tomb in Shaanxi province, she found herself among crowds of young people, many holding gifts linked to the ancient strategist's life and legacy.
It was not her first such journey. Since becoming fascinated with the writings of Cao Pi, the poet-emperor and founder of the Wei Dynasty (220–265), in 2024, Fan has made a habit of visiting the resting places of historical figures. "Standing on land he once walked thousands of years ago feels completely different from reading about him in books," she said. "I was hooked after that."
