The truth about Wei Zi's suicide.

I think Yu Ji's death is more forced. Farewell My Concubine has always been a very sad story, but the cause of Yu Ji's death is not clear, because in fact, Yu Ji's image in history is relatively thin. Later, a folk literati performed and slowly filled in all the details, so each version was different. If you say the Beijing opera Farewell My Concubine, then many people know this story, but it is far from your real history.

The earliest story of Farewell My Concubine in history should be Lu Jia's Chu and Han Chunqiu, but this book was lost in the Southern Song Dynasty, so people can't discuss whether Yu Ji's death was homicide or suicide. What we can see now should be the story of Farewell My Concubine recorded in Sima Qian's Historical Records. However, he did not write that Yuji committed suicide. Maybe he felt that in Chu Qiu, he didn't write whether he committed suicide, but left a blank for the audience to imagine. Or he didn't write it in, because he felt that some current studies were inconsistent with the historical truth.

If it is another version of Yu Ji, it was killed by Xiang Yu, because Xiang Yu killed her after the defeat. Anyway, in this version, Yu Ji didn't end up with Xiang Yu, because there was only one strong man around when he broke through.

Therefore, any version may be shaped to meet the expectations of some viewers and make it reasonable. Because there is no definite evidence that Yu Ji committed suicide, it is difficult to determine whether Xiang Yu killed Yu Ji. So there are many endings, which is the beauty of literature.
