A besieged warrior and a final farewell: a Peking opera tale of defeat and grief.
Xiang Yu ignores warnings and is trapped by enemy forces. Yu Ji tries to console him with song and dance, then takes her own life as defeat becomes inevitable. Grief-stricken, he leads his soldiers in a breakout.
Performed by the Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing as part of the Guocui Jixiang performance series. Announced performers include Liu Shuoyu, Zhao Hailong, Wang Bowen. The cast performing on the day takes precedence. Performed in Chinese.
