At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the flames of war cleared, and fifteen years after the overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu, committed suicide in Wujiang, in the dense forest of Kuaiji Mountain, a young man named Xiang Jifei woke up from the mystery of his life experience - he was Xiang Yu's orphan, and the "young master" secretly guarded by the people of Chu. When the faded Chu flag was raised in the mountain stronghold, and when the oath of "Although Chu has three families, Chu will surely destroy Qin" was reawakened, this young man with the blood of the Overlord took a completely different path.
He did not reproduce the hegemonic ambitions of his ancestors, but understood in the cold pond that "the hearts of the people are the country"; the Xiang army he led did not seize food or occupy land, and only stood up when harsh officials oppressed the people; he used mountains and forests as camps and people's hearts as bridges, making it difficult for hundreds of thousands of Han troops to move in the Chu region, but after victory, he turned around to help the people repair canals and reclaim wasteland.
From the enthusiasm of meeting the masters at Kuaiji Mountain to the forbearance of discussing matters in Hantan; from the quiet operation of the People's Protector Association to the inheritance of Chu River, Xiang Jiefei spent his life explaining: The true soul of Chu is never the solitary courage of an overlord, but the wisdom of knowing the hearts of the people, using talents, knowing rewards and punishments, and following the trend of the times. When the power of Chang'an changes in the court, in the rice fields at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain, newly sown wheat seeds are breaking out of the ground - there is an answer that is more permanent than the emperor's hegemony: the people protect the people, and the people always protect them.
This is an epic about inheritance and choice, and also a long song of people's hearts and beliefs. Between the glint of swords and the barking of smoke and dogs, Xiang Jifei and his brothers proved that: it is never the beacon fire that can start a prairie fire, but the hope of millions of people for a stable life; what can be immortal is never the name of the country, but the original intention of protecting the country engraved in the blood.
