I took a Chinese history course in college since US high school does a piss poor job of teaching anything not western-centric. I can recall at least a half dozen times I was completly shocked by a death toll from a war/rebellion, or just by the sheer madness of the situation.
Ya the history of China is rough. Basically everyone does great for a minute, lots of art, philosophy, and other neat things. Then everyone dies. Rinse and repeat.
