I was told this song has a meaning that a famous Chinese warrior who fought the war and died. At the beginning of the first part, the music is strong and powerful showing he was deploying army. The rythem speeds up to show the army is in fighting. The warrior side lose the battle. The second part of the song is to show his sad feeling and he is being chased by enemy. Eventually, he takes off his armor to fight with enemy and die in honour. Please correct me if I am wrong.
