According to the records of Xiang Yu's Anthology, Xiang Yu said a very helpless words before committing suicide, "I will be destroyed by God, and it is not a crime of war." The literal meaning is that God wants to destroy Xiang Yu, and it is not a crime of fighting on his own. Xiang Yu's words also show Xiang Yu's headstrong character.

Judging from the facts, Xiang Yu did not summarize the reasons for his failure. He still blamed Heaven before his death. Although he had won every battle before, he did not consider all factors, which led to a devastating defeat. .
