Origin Story
话说西楚霸王项羽，乌江自刎前，面对四面楚歌，百感交集，仰天长啸，唱出一曲慷慨悲歌，歌声中饱含着对故国江山的依恋，对部下的思念，对自己命运的悲叹，以及对楚国兴亡的无奈。这首悲歌，千百年来，一直被人们传颂，成为了中国历史上一个悲壮的传奇。项羽的慷慨悲歌，不仅表达了他个人的悲壮情怀，也反映了那个时代英雄人物的共同命运：志存高远，却最终功亏一篑。这首悲歌也启示着后人，面对困境，要有勇气直面，也要有智慧去思考，才能避免重蹈覆辙。
It is said that Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu, before committing suicide at the Wu Jiang River, faced songs of sorrow from all sides. Overwhelmed by emotions, he let out a long howl to the sky and sang a song of courage and sadness. The song was filled with longing for his homeland, missing his subordinates, sorrow for his fate, and helplessness toward the fall of the Chu kingdom. This sad song has been passed down through the centuries and has become a tragic legend in Chinese history. Xiang Yu's song of courage and sadness not only expresses his personal tragic feelings, but also reflects the common fate of the heroes of that era: they had high aspirations but ultimately failed. This sad song also reminds later generations that when facing difficulties, they should have the courage to face them, and also the wisdom to think, in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
