What was the cultural significance of Jing Ke... how was he relevant to chinese history? Why record the story of a failed assassin?
In the Hero article, it is said he is legendary... this article presents it as factual. Which is correct? Crisco 1492 15:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- He was a real person. At least that was what Sima Qian says. The Hero article probably means he is a legend in China, not that he is mythical. Mandel 20:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

- I've seen many versions of his famous line but which one is the most accurate translation?--195.229.242.54 09:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

- He was culturaly significant because, to use a term an English speaking person would undestand, a man has got to do what a man has got to do. Even if what he has to do may lead to failure and certian death, and even if the chance of success from the outset is small. That the greatest failure of all is to capitulate without even trying.

I think this may have been vandalized since it mentions that Jing Ke was "a newb in MapleStory". I'm fairly certain that they didn't have the internet in ancient China. Fantomx11 14:44, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
The style this page was written in suggests that it was written using the film The Emperor and the Assassin (1999) as the main historical source. From an outsider's view, it does not seem like an encyclopedia article at all. Glacialfury (talk) 17:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
