Bamboo and Stone
Author Zheng Xie Dynasty Qing Dynasty
I insist on not letting go of the green mountains, and my roots are still in the broken rocks.
After countless hardships, I am still strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south.
Translation Notes
I cling tightly to the green mountains and never let go, originally deeply rooted in the crevices of the rocks.
My body and bones are still strong despite countless blows, no matter how strong the wind blows from east to west, north and south.
