There are willows in Qian Qian in the spring breeze, and 600 million Shenzhou is full of Shun Yao. Red rain turns waves at will, while green hills deliberately turn bridges.

Even the Wuling silver hoe fell, and the Sanjiang iron arm shook. Excuse me, where does Wen Jun want to go? Paper boats burn like candles.

Translation:

There are thousands of green willows in the spring breeze, living with 600 million people in China, which is as smooth as Yao. The rain of hearts turns into waves at will, and the green hills deliberately turn into bridges.

There are silver hoes rising and falling on the high five ridges, and iron arms shaking on the vast land. Excuse me, where does plague want to go? Paste a paper boat, light candles and burn them into the sky.

Creation background of expanded materials:1On February 27th, 956, Mao Zedong emphasized "mobilizing the whole party and the whole people to eradicate schistosomiasis" at the Supreme State Conference, and wrote the eradication of schistosomiasis into Article 40 of the agricultural development program. In the same year, a leading group for schistosomiasis control was established in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and a large number of medical teams were sent to the epidemic areas to carry out schistosomiasis control.

This work has achieved remarkable results. The people of yujiang county County in the epidemic area put forward the slogan of "prepare for half a year, fight for half a year, and wrap up for half a year" to give full play to their enthusiasm and fight against the plague. Vigorously build water conservancy projects, fill gullies and eradicate breeding grounds for schistosomiasis. It took only two years to eradicate schistosomiasis.

On June 30th, 1958, People's Daily reported the news on the front page, and published an editorial entitled "The First Red Flag-A Documentary of the Complete Eradication of Schistosomiasis in yujiang county County, Jiangxi Province".

This poem is not only profound in thought, but also heroic in spirit. This is not only because the poet, as the leader of the people, is far-sighted and broad-minded, showing an infinite universe and a long history in his poems, but more importantly, the poet has a strong love for the motherland and the people and a passionate feeling for the socialist cause.

Therefore, when we learned that "schistosomiasis in yujiang county county has been eliminated", we were very excited and full of poetic thoughts, which made this poem full of vigorous spirit and lofty sentiments. Poetry is like a person. This poem is the embodiment of Mao Zedong's great personality and charm, and only Mao Zedong can write such a magnificent poem.
