The protagonist Lin Shen traveled to the end of the Qin Dynasty in an accident and became an unknown aide under Xiang Yu's account.
He had read history books and knew that Xiang Yu was stubborn and jealous. He also knew that this "Overlord of Western Chu" would eventually be defeated by Liu Bang and commit suicide in Wujiang River. He wanted to change all this - to persuade Xiang Yu not to trap and kill his soldiers, to act decisively at the Hongmen Banquet, and to reuse Han Xin to stabilize the rear. But Xiang Yu's arrogance and stubbornness were far beyond his imagination. Every time he tried to remonstrate, it was like a stone's throw, and even resulted in suspicion and cold looks.
Chen Zhou gradually discovered that history cannot be rewritten with just one mouth. Xiang Yu's failure is rooted in his character, and no one can change his character on his behalf. He watched helplessly as Fan Zeng was angered, Han Xin defected to Liu Bang, and Long Qie died in the battle at Weishui. Everything was sliding towards the irreversible end according to the trajectory of history books.
The siege of Gaixia was besieged on all sides. Xiang Yu asked him: "Is there still a way?" He looked at this overlord who was both hated and lamented, and said: "General, it's time to cross the river."
Xiang Yu did not cross the river.
Lin Shen stood on the bank of Wujiang River, looking at the roaring water, and finally understood one thing - he was not here to change history, he was here to witness the last glimpse of history.
This is a story about "knowing that you can't do something but doing it". Travelers are not omnipotent, and history is not a draft that can be modified at will. When all efforts turn into smoke on the Wujiang River, what is left for a person?
Maybe there is only one sentence left: I have been here, I have advised you, and I have no regrets.
Purpose: Historical echo
