There was a man who conquered a country with only 30 people. His name is still worshipped today. He is the pride of the Chinese people and the spiritual symbol of the Han nationality. He is Ban Chao, also known as Dingyuan Hou. He has many touching stories.

Ban Chao came from a poor family. He followed his mother to make a living in the capital since he was a child, copying documents for the government. He also believed in superstition and asked someone to tell his fortune, but the result made him believe that he would be successful and become a noble. Emperor Ming of Han knew that he was diligent and filial, so he promoted him to Lantai Lingshi, in charge of documents, but he lost this position because of a small mistake.

Later, Ban Chao accompanied Dou Gu on a diplomatic mission to the Western Regions, with the goal of preventing Western countries from supporting the Northern Xiongnu. He brought more than 30 people to Shanshan and was initially warmly received, but he keenly noticed that the king's attitude had changed and speculated that the Northern Xiongnu was interfering. In order to force Shanshan to surrender, he led his men to eliminate the Northern Xiongnu's envoys, forcing Shanshan to surrender to the Han Dynasty, achieving an amazing surrender.
