Story:
In 227 BC, the State of Qin defeated the State of Zhao and pressed close to the State of Yan. Crown Prince Dan of Yan invited Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin.
Jing Ke took with him the head of Fan Yuqi, an enemy of the King of Qin, and a map of Dukan.
Crown Prince Dan saw him off by the Yi River. Gao Jianli played the zhù, and Jing Ke sang loudly: 'The wind sighs, the Yi River is cold; a brave man departs, never to return!' The song was stirring, and the scene was truly appalling.
