1. "Crossing the Lingding Ocean" by Wen Tianxiang in the Song Dynasty

After a hard encounter, only a few stars fought.

The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind flutters and the catkins float, and the life experience is ups and downs.

Afraid to say panic on the beach, sigh alone in the ocean.

Who has never died since ancient times? Keep your loyalty to reflect history.

Translation: Looking back on the hardships I went through in my early years from the imperial examination to becoming an official, it has been four weeks since the war ended.

The country is in danger like catkins in a strong wind, and an individual is like duckweed in a sudden rain.

The disastrous defeat in Panpantan makes me still terrified. Lingxiayang and being trapped in Yuanlu lamented that I was all alone.

Since ancient times, no one has been able to live forever. I want to leave a piece of patriotic loyalty to reflect history.

2﹑"Han Ju" Song Dynasty, Zheng Sixiao

The flowers are not in full bloom, but the independent and sparse fences are not exhausted.

I would rather die with the fragrance on the branches than blow it down in the north wind.

Translation: Chrysanthemums bloom in autumn. They are never among other flowers. They stand alone beside sparse fences, and their sentiment and interest have not faded.

I would rather wither and die on the branches than be blown down by the biting north wind!

3. "Song of Lime" by Yu Qian in the Ming Dynasty

Thousands of hammers carved out the deep mountains, and the fire burned them as if nothing happened.

Don’t be afraid of your bones being shattered into pieces, you must remain innocent in this world.

Translation: A stone quarried from the mountains after thousands of hammers, it treats the burning of raging fire as a very common thing.

Don’t be afraid even if your body is broken into pieces, as long as you keep your noble moral integrity in the world

4. "Inscriptions on the Wall in Prison" In modern times, Tan Sitong

Looking at the door Stop thinking about Zhang Jian, and wait for Du Gen for a moment.

I am smiling to the sky with my horizontal sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact.

Translation: The life of a fugitive was so tense that when I saw someone, I would come to stay at home. I hope that Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, who fled, can be protected by people like Zhang Jian.

I also hope that my comrades can endure death and wait to complete the great cause of reform like Dugan.

I walked out with a sword, looking up to the sky and laughing, because those who left and those who stayed were sincere and upright, just like the majestic Kunlun Mountains.

5. "Bamboo and Stone" Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xie

He insisted on not letting go of the green mountains, and established his roots in the broken rocks.

After countless hardships, I am still strong, regardless of the wind from east to west, north or south.

Translation: The bamboo grasps the green mountain and does not relax at all. Its roots are firmly rooted in the rock crevices.

After countless hardships and blows, the body and bones are still strong, no matter you blow the southeast wind in the scorching summer or the northwest wind in the harsh winter.
