Do I not have a destiny decreed by heaven?

historical sites and monuments The Ruins of Lutai On a certain day in January 1046 BC, King Wu's allied forces reached the vicinity of Chaoge, and the Shang army turned against their own, forcing King Zhou of Shang to ascend Lutai and self-immolate. Before his self-immolation, King Zhou was still exclaiming, 'Woe is me, do I not have a destiny decreed by heaven?' which translates to 'Isn't my fate already determined by heaven?' He could not believe that King Wu could defeat him, thinking that it was heaven that had abandoned him, leaving him no choice but to climb Lutai and self-immolate. The Ruins of Lutai are located on the east bank of the Qi River in Qixian, Hebi City, Henan Province. It is now Chaoge Park. Lutai no longer looks as it did in the past, but the Qi River still flows quietly. The campaign of King Wu against King Zhou is a significant event in Chinese history. Various legends about King Wen of Zhou, King Wu, King Zhou, Jiang Ziya, and Daji are all related to this place. Standing on the land of Chaoge as it was in those days, one can imagine the clashing of metal and the horses of war, and feel the ancient and distant changes of the times.
