Long long time ago, during the Qin Dynasty, there lived a powerful Emperor called Qin Shi Huang.
So happy he was with his life as an Emperor that he decided that he should live forever. The quest for the secret of immortality thus begun.
Qin Shi Huang sent out 2 groups of people in ships, each consisting of 50 young men and 50 young women to 2 different islands in search of immortal pills.
They never returned, for fear that they would be executed as they had failed in their mission.
Some settled down in the respective islands they were sent to, while some moved to the lands nearby. These people started their own family in a whole new place and eventually, they became countries by themselves - Japan and Korea.
(Note: Now you know why both Japan and Korea use chinese characters and why their people look so much like the Chinese...)
