Xiang Yu and the people around him were all looking at Xi'er.
Xi'er, with eyes red from tears, stared at Xiang Yu and said, "Commander, Sun City was once a slum. We were all lowly people from the slums. No one outside was willing to acknowledge us; they all perceived us as embodiments of poverty and didn't wish to associate with us."
"Whenever we tried to walk out of the slum, they would hit us back, and we were even afraid to admit we came from here. In the past, we struggled to have enough to eat. Some even committed crimes just to survive. We were in utter misery with no hope, living in dire straits every day."
"It was you; you came and transformed our city, changed the lives of everyone, made us stop worrying about survival, and stand up straight. You gave us the courage to keep living, gave us dignity."
