"The Death of Xiang Yu" is taken from Historical Records and Biography of Xiang Yu. This article describes the last stage of Xiang Yu's life, from being besieged by Gaixia to committing suicide in Wujiang River, which is also the most tragic scene in Xiang Yu's biography. This last scene consists of three scenes, namely, the siege of Gaixia, the quick battle in Dongcheng, and the self-mutilation of Wujiang River. It contains a series of thrilling plots and details, such as the night police of Chu songs, the sad songs of Yu, the misconduct of Yin Ling, the quick battle in Dongcheng, the refusal to cross the river, and the sending of the head to an old friend.
Some people regard Historical Records as a gallery of tragic heroes, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty, is a peerless model in the tragic group. The episode "The Death of Xiang Yu" is the last scene of this epic tragedy. The hero of "A Thousand People Are Useless" died, leaving behind the waves that once "rolled up thousands of piles of snow" in the long river of history, which echoed endlessly in the mountains and valleys, and the sighs of countless readers' thinking and anger for two thousand years.
