About this person
He is best known for his role at the Battle of Xingyang in 204 BC between Liu Bang and his rival Xiang Yu, when he disguised himself as Liu Bang and pretended to surrender to Xiang Yu in order to buy time for Liu Bang to escape. After Ji Xin was caught, Xiang Yu, seeing how loyal Ji Xin was towards his lord, offered him a chance to join his forces. However, Ji Xin refused, so Xiang Yu had him burnt to death.
