You should be talking about Li Qingzhao's "Summer quatrains". In A.D. 1 127, powerful nomadic people invaded the Central Plains, destroyed the Qionglou Yuyuan Garden in the Song Dynasty, and took away the Hui and Qin emperors. Zhao Songcang fled south. Li Qingzhao and his wife also began to wander and flee. Soon, her husband Zhao Mingcheng was appointed as the magistrate of Beijing Jiankang. One night, there was a rebellion in the city. As a magistrate, Zhao Mingcheng didn't do his duty of commanding repression, but ran away quietly with a rope. After the decision of rebellion, Zhao Mingcheng was dismissed by the court. Li Qingzhao was deeply ashamed of her husband's chicken out. Although there was no quarrel, the harmony between fish and water in the past is gone forever. From then on, she was cold and distant from Zhao Mingcheng. 1/kloc-0 fled to Jiangxi in 28, and they were relatively speechless along the way. Walking to the Wujiang River, standing in the place where Xiang Yu, the overlord of the western Chu Dynasty, was defeated and committed suicide, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but think about it and was emotional. Facing the vast river, I recited this poem casually. Zhao Mingcheng stood behind her, and when she heard this, she felt sorry for herself and deeply blamed herself. From then on, he was depressed and soon died of an acute illness.
Li Qingzhao's poems satirize the surrender and escape of the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty by borrowing the historical story that Xiang Yu, the overlord of the western Chu Dynasty, refused to drag out an ignoble existence and committed suicide on the Wujiang River after his failure, and expressed his desire to resist Japan and restore his thoughts and feelings in his native land. The sentence "Life is a hero and death is a hero" is particularly powerful.
