In the late Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang made a non-aggression pact by taking Honggou (in today's Henan Province) as the boundary. Later, Liu Bang accepted the advice of his ministers and determined to destroy Xiang Yu regardless of the pact.
In 202 B.C., after several battles, Liu Bang besieged Xiang Yu's army in Gaixia (in the southeast of today's Lingbi town, Anhui Province). It was a rather difficult time for Xiang Yu. He had lost most of his soldiers and run out of food. Late at night he heard Liu Bang's army singing folksongs of Chu (today's Hubei province) and asked in astonishment: "Has Liu Bang taken Chu already? Why are there so many Chu people in his army?" When asking, his fighting spirit was fatally shattered. He then got out of his bed and drank in his camp.
后来,项羽英雄末路,带了800余名士兵突围,最终只剩下28人。他最终自刎于江边,刘邦得到天下。
The end day of Xiang Yu finally came. He fought with 800 men but only 28 of them survived at last. Xiang Yu committed suicide by cutting his throat by the river. Liu Bang won the war and became the ruler of the country.
