I hope all of you have seen the historical movie Hero http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_(2002_film) Qing Emperor says to Nameless that the ultimate goal of swordsmanship is “not to kill,” Nameless gets impressed with these words and gives up his sword, but still Qing Emperor executes Nameless. but why? Did the Emperor of Qin lied?

If you research a bit, you will find that the movie is utter manipulation of history to suit Communist Party viewpoint. Ulterior meaning of the film was triumph of security and stability over liberty and human rights,

In fact in PRC, all movie scripts need to be approved by the government, and are monitored at each stage of their shooting. The Communist Party watchdogs ensured that essential changes were made in the movie to suit the Party ideology.

In fact all characters in the movie are fictitious except for the King.

The movie is not a historical record, but a propaganda medium from PRC.

It's historical but it is not exact.

Hello I am a Chinese High School Student. Qin shi huang, or Ying zhen, is a tyrant if you are referring to how many people he has killed. He has burned books and has made his people miserable. But a TYRANT is not a totally bad person. Ying Zhen's a ambitious man and he has done a lot to do his country good ( as well as to do himself good). But then we must remember that under that circumstances he lived in a dynasty where he was given authority and great reponsibility, so he should be judged in special historical perspective~~ Qingshihuang's greatest contribution is that he united China. By the way, though~I do not like him~~~

There was never an emperor of the PRC. It didn't get the People's Republic added to its name until the communists took over in 49.

What if someone wants to assassin their country's president, he runs up to the president and points a gun to his face. The president was able to talk the assassin out of killing him, you think the president would just let the assassin walk out unharmed so he can go live peacefully for the rest of his life?

I don't think so!

"The ultimate goal of swordsmanship is not to kill"

Why do you think the Qin Emperor lied? The sword is a weapon, designed to fight evil thus leading to peace. So, the ultimate goal of the swordsman is not to kill, but to achieve peace.

If Nameless was to kill the emperor, the emperor's army will hunt him down to kill him (and his family, associates, etc.), so ultimately, there will not be peace, but never-ending "unnecessary" killings. They might replace him with an even hated emperor, then what? Kill him, too?

Something I learned about Chinese history, there has been many assassination attempts on the Qin Emperor. He was feared and hated by many people, but you also need to think about all the things he's done for China...

having such a threat he would say anything in fact...

but what he meant was "the peace in the whole country"...
or
"kill me and here you'll have another war with another tyrant so i'm better than anyone else coz i've got the country already and my current aim is to grasp it tight that is to introduce law, order, mass executions bla-bla-bla, totalitarian paradise..."

and the Namesless thought "what a s--t, i don't want to see that, kill me, anyone"...
so there were a dozen of kind archers right at hand...

happy end, everyone's kissing...
