Chinese idiom story "Besieged on All Sides"
At the end of the Qin Dynasty(221-206 B.C.)
the State of Chu and the State of Han fought for control for the country.
Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, was besieged（包围） at a place called Gaixia by the Han army led by Liu Bang.
Xiang Yu was in a desperate situation, with little food and only a few soliders.
At night, the surrounding Han troops started to sing Chu folk songs.
Xiang Yu was very surprised at this, and said:"Has Liu Bang occupied the whole of Chu?
How can he have drafted so many Chu people into his army?"
Then he fled together with the remainder of his forces.
This idiom is used metaphorically to mean to be in a helpless and critical situation,
surrounded by the enemy on all sides.
中国成语故事《四面楚歌》
秦朝末期（公元前 221-206 年），楚国和汉国争夺国家的控制权。楚王项羽被刘邦率领的汉军围攻（包围）在一个叫盖下的地方。项羽陷入绝境，食不果腹，士兵寥寥无几。晚上，周围的汉军开始唱楚歌。项羽对此十分惊讶，道：“刘邦已经占领了整个楚国吗？他怎么会征召这么多楚人入伍？”然后他和其余的部队一起逃跑了。
这个成语用来比喻地表示处于无助和危急的境地，被四面八方的敌人包围
