history
From 《史记·项羽本纪》: as Chu king Xiang Yu is surrounded by Liu Bang's forces at Gaixia, he drinks a final cup with his concubine Yu Ji before his breakout. The scene — the doomed hero, the loyal concubine, the last song — became a set piece of Chinese literature and Peking opera.
culture
The 1993 Chen Kaige film 《霸王别姬》 won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Separately, 霸王别姬 is also the name of a famous Huaiyang dish (braised turtle with chicken) — worth knowing if you see it on a menu.
