The ancient Silk Road was a once-in-a-lifetime journey. It was one of the most important milestones(里程碑) of trade and culture in world history, and the pioneer, Zhang Qian, could not be easily forgotten by history. He was a great diplomat(外交官), traveller and explorer in the Han Dynasty of China.
In 138 BC, Zhang Qian was sent to the west of China for an alliance with the Yuezhi people to fight against the Xiongnu. He started his trip from Chang'an. But unluckily, Zhang was caught by the Xiongnu people just as he left Han, and was held prisoner(囚犯) for about ten years.
Zhang finally managed to run away with some of his men and continued to travel west. When Zhang at last reached the Yuezhi, he was sad to find that they didn't want to fight against the Xiongnu people. On the return journey, Zhang Qian and his men were caught again. It was not until 126 BC that they returned to Chang'an.
Though Zhang hadn't finished his task, he brought back first-hand information about Central Asia. The paths Zhang Qian explored later served as the highways connecting Europe, Mesopotamia, Central Asia, and East Asia. Commodities(商品) were transported along this network of highways, which was known as the "Silk Road". Zhang Qian has been remembered as the great explorer that opened up a new era(时代) of cultural exchange between the East and the West.
