Xiang Yu deeply felt that the tide was gone, and ordered people to put wine in the camp and drink hard to relieve their worries.
The defeat is a foregone conclusion, and Xiang can't let go of his beloved concubine and horse.
Thought of here, while drinking, he sang sadly and passionately:
"My strength can pull mountains, and my courage is unparalleled.
Bad luck, unable to move forward.
What if we don't move forward?
Concubine, Concubine, what should I do for you? "
After singing several times, I asked Yu Ji to dance with the sword and sing with him.
A tearful eye.
The attendant beside him also cried, and no one could bear to see this tragic scene.
