Jagrut Raval

In december 2014, I climbed the great wall of China near Beijing city. I picked up a piece of the Great Wall from a dilapidated region of the wall as a reminder of my journey to one of the most iconic man made edifice.

It is believed that Mao Zedong during 1970’s encouraged the peasants to break the wall and urged them to make their houses with the stone blocks from the great wall.
