? After a hard encounter, only a few stars are scattered around.

? The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating in the catkins, and the life experience is ups and downs and the rain is beating the rafts.

? Fear on the beach, say fear, sigh alone in the ocean.

? Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history. Wen Tianxiang (June 6, 1236 - January 9, 1283), whose courtesy name was Lushan, later changed to Song Rui, and whose name was Wenshan, was born in Luling, Jizhou (now Ji'an County, Jiangxi Province). He was a minister, writer, and nationalist in the late Southern Song Dynasty. The hero, together with Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie, is known as the "Three Heroes of the Late Song Dynasty". In the fourth year of Baoyou's reign (1256), he became the number one scholar. He successively held the posts of signing Ning Haijun's official office, Langguan of the Ministry of punishment, Jiangxi Tixing, Shangshu Zuosilangguan, Hunan Tixing, and Zhiganzhou. In 1276, he was sent to the Yuan army's camp to negotiate and was detained. He later escaped from danger and passed through Jizhuang, Gaoyou, to Tangwan, Tai County, and returned south from Nantong. In the first year of Xiangguang (1278), he was defeated and captured by Zhang Hongfan. He persisted in fighting in prison for more than three years. He died calmly in Chaishi on January 9, 1283, at the age of forty-seven. Wen Tianxiang's reputation as a loyal martyr was passed down to future generations. During his captivity, Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty persuaded him to surrender with a high official and generous salary. Wen Tianxiang would rather die than surrender, and his life deeds were praised by later generations. He is the author of "Crossing the Lingding Ocean", "Wenshan Poetry Collection", "Guan Lu", "Guan Hou Lu" and "Zhengqi". Song" etc.
