Origin Story
战国时期，燕太子丹派荆轲刺杀秦王。易水送别，荆轲高歌一曲：“风萧萧兮易水寒，壮士一去兮不复还！”歌声慷慨激昂，悲壮动人，表达了舍生取义的决心，也令人闻之动容。太子丹和送行的人无不泪流满面，气氛悲壮而令人敬佩。荆轲的壮举与慷慨激昂的歌声千百年来一直为人们传颂，成为中华民族英雄气概的象征。
During the Warring States period, Prince Dan of Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate King Qin. At the farewell ceremony at Yi Shui, Jing Ke sang a song: "The wind howls, the Yi Shui is cold, a brave man goes and does not return!" The song was impassioned and moving, expressing his determination to sacrifice his life for a just cause. Prince Dan and those who saw him off all wept, the atmosphere was tragic but admirable. Jing Ke's heroic deed and impassioned song have been passed down through the ages and have become a symbol of the heroic spirit of the Chinese nation.
