~ Qi(啓)
Qi(啓) is the second emperor of the Xia Dynasty and is the son of Yu The Great(大禹) and Nu Jiao. His reign over The Xia Dynasty lasted for about 9 - 10 years. He died on 2117 BC. Before Qi became sovereign. Yu never wanted Qi to be king. Instead, he wanted to pass the throne to Gao Yao, Yu's minister of justice. Unfortunately, Gao passed away and Yu had another decision to pass the throne to Yi (Also known as Boyi). A person who has been Yu's companion for 13 years fighting floods and a person elected as The Minister of Animal Husbandry. But because of Yu's great influence to the Xia. Citizens of Xia chose to vote for Qi as monarch instead of Boyi. So sadly, Boyi gave up his candidacy and passed the throne to Qi.
