Story:
In the late Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, as a young man, was not fond of studying. His uncle, Xiang Liang, tried to teach him swordsmanship, but Xiang Yu aspirated to learn skills that could contend against ten thousand men. When Xiang Liang then attempted to teach him military strategy, Xiang Yu showed no serious interest in diligent study. However, his physical strength was unparalleled in the world, allowing him to lift heavy cauldrons weighing several hundred jin.
He contended with Liu Bang for supremacy for eight years but was ultimately forced to commit suicide by the Wujiang River at Gaixia, lamenting his own 'strength to pluck up mountains and spirit to cover the world'.
