“Unhappily, we must part while I am still in the full vigor of life.
In AD 201, mortally wounded, Sun Ce called for his wife, Lady Qiao (eldest of the two Qiao sisters) to share with her his final words. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were names first used by KOEI in Dynasty Warriors 3 when the characters were introduced. Rather than refer to them as Older Qiao and Younger Qiao, the names Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao have become popular alternatives. 1: Da ( 大), in this context, translates to ‘Big’, thus ‘Elder’, and Xiao ( 小) to ‘Little’, thus ‘Younger’. Beyond the battle of Chibi there is no mention of what happened to either of them, though it is assumed they both remained in Wu. (1) There is no especial reference to either of them in actual history, and the exact details surrounding their appearance in Romance of the Three Kingdoms are largely fictional. The youngest, sometimes referred to as Xiao Qiao, was wed to Zhou Yu. The oldest, sometimes referred to as Da Qiao, was wed to Sun Ce, Sun Jian’s son and Sun Quan’s brother. Patriarch Duke Qiao of the southlands had two daughters, known as the Qiao sisters.
