| | | | | 247 BC: Encyclopedia II - Qin Shi Huang - Miscellaneous Qin Shi Huang was interested in immortality and visited Zhifu Island. These deeds became a very popular story of the emperor sending a Zhifu islander, Xu Fu (徐福), as the religious leader of ships with hundreds of young men and women in search of the pill of immortality.
