Zhang Qian was captured by the Xiongnu for approximately 13 years. He was initially sent on a diplomatic mission by the Han Dynasty in 138 BCE but was captured shortly after entering Xiongnu territory. He eventually escaped and returned to China around 125 BCE, bringing valuable information about the West and establishing crucial connections for trade.
