1. The legendary love between Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao
The love story of Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, like a melodious epic, is sung by the world. According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", although the encounter between the two was tinged with political marriage, their husband and wife relationship was regarded as a model of affection. When Zhou Yu married Xiao Qiao, he was in his prime and full of spirit, and Xiao Qiao's peerless beauty and gentle temperament also made Zhou Yu fall for him. They supported each other and survived the ups and downs of the early days of Soochow together, leaving many warm and beautiful memories.
2. The regret of Zhou Yu's untimely death
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. In the Battle of Jiangling, Zhou Yu was unfortunately injured, although he endured the pain and stabilized the morale of the army, but the arrow wound and the perennial hard work finally made him sick and could not afford to be sick. Zhou Yu's death is not only a huge loss for Soochow, but also the biggest blow in Xiao Qiao's life.

In the face of her husband's death, Xiao Qiao did not choose to sink, but showed amazing tenacity and independence. She rejected all requests to marry and chose to be widowed, a decision that was particularly rare in the social context of the time. She devoted all her energy to raising the children left by Zhou Yu, not only imparting knowledge to them, but also telling them about Zhou Yu's heroic deeds, hoping that they could inherit their father's legacy. At the same time, she also manages the affairs of the family herself, from the trivial matters of daily life to the cultivation of the fields.
Fourth, the bond between Xiao Qiao and Soochow
Xiao Qiao's tenacity and independence not only won the respect of the top and bottom of Soochow, but also became the link between Soochow and Zhou Yu's family. In order to take care of their mother and daughter, Sun Quan gave them rich material support to ensure that they could live smoothly in the years of war and chaos. In addition, Sun Quan also let his son marry Zhou Yu's daughter Zhou Che as his wife, and later became the crown princess, further consolidating the relationship with Zhou Yu's family. These actions are undoubtedly an affirmation and respect for Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu's family.
5. Little Joe's loneliness and longing
However, despite the care and support of Sun Quan and others, the rest of Xiao Qiao's life is still full of loneliness and longing. Whenever in the dead of night, she would always sigh at the bright moon and recall the good times she spent with Zhou Yu. Her heart is full of longing and reluctance for Zhou Yu, and this affection and loyalty are moving.
