How it ends is what many westerners will be puzzled when they get up from their sits. During that time (some what 2000 years ago), there was no China, no Dynasty, no Emperor (only Kings). It had in fact 7 different Kingdoms and each army had hundred of thousand of soldiers.
(ten of thousands was a joke for a Kingdom's army). They fought each others for hundred of years. The results? Millions of innocent people died. Starvation, poverty were everywhere.
Qin Qi Huang (First Emperor) unified them and became China. He said no other Kings had ever accomplished what he had. He is beyond King. That why he called himself "Qin Qi Huang", First Emperor of Qin. In this movie, this guy still was a King with the strongest army among the other 6.
He had destroyed a few already in this movie. Thus, the still existed Kings sent out the assassins.
DO NOT READ ON IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING.
Nameless, (Jet Li), aborted his mission at the end when he had the chance to take his head.
Why? He started to understand, after he had close contact with the Qin King, why one of the assassin, Broken Sword, (play by Tony Leung) asked him to stop his mission.
In this movie, Qin's intention is to end all wars and poveties by unifying China.
Broken Sword asked Nameless to widen his sight. Think of the humanity, not just the revenge of his own people. Imagine how peaceful and presper humanity will get without wars, which could drag on for hundred of years.
*By the way, the assassin attempt was real in history but not this ways. The real name was Jin Er. He got close to the Emperor because one of the Emperor's nemesis, Prince Yin, gave his head to Jin Er and brought to the Emperor for reward. He failed and got kill.
Should stop here.
