Xiang Yu: Wujiang Testimony

"I didn't lose to Liu Bang, I lost to the script they wrote in advance." On a windy and snowy night in Gaixia, Xiang Yu wiped his last smile on his neck and refused to drink Meng Po soup. The real war is never on the battlefield, but in the history books. I want to retell the story that has been misinterpreted for thousands of years: ·The burning of the cauldron is not passion, but a desperate resistance against the cold war machine; ·Not killing Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet is not stupid, it is the ultimate mockery of "political correctness"; ·In Farewell My Concubine, Concubine Yu said before committing suicide: "I will break the cocoon of your heart with my blood"; ·Wujiang However, it is not that he is shameless, but that he completely rejects the "comeback" narrative of success. But Liu Bang is not the only opponent. He represents a pragmatic survival philosophy, and his advisers Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Chen Ping jointly constructed a set of narrative hegemony of "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit." What I want to fight against is the entire discourse system that reduces heroes to symbols. This book is: ·A "Soul Self-defense Book" written in modern Chinese; ·A confrontation between history, mythology and philosophy; ·A thorough questioning of "what is a hero" and "who is qualified to write about failure". If you have also: ·Feeling suffocated by established rules; ·Have doubts about the "success template" that has been taught; ·I asked in the middle of the night, "Who am I, not who I am defined as"—— Welcome, then, to a trial that has lasted two thousand years. Here, Xiang Yu's sword points not only at the enemy, but also at every reader who tries to define his life. "Now, it's your turn to write - Call me reckless, or...? "
