Extended information

From "The Turtle Lives Longevity" by Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The original text is:

Although the turtle lives a long life, it still has its time.

The tan snake rides on the mist and turns into ashes in the end.

The old man is brave and ambitious.

The martyrs are full of ambition in their old age.

The period of profit and contraction is not only in heaven;

The blessing of nourishing happiness can lead to eternal life.

Fortunately, I sing to express my ambition.

Translation:

Although the divine turtle is very long-lived, its life will eventually end.

Although the soaring snake can fly in the clouds and fog, it will eventually end. They will also die and turn into ashes.

Although the old thousand-mile horse is crouching beside the manger, the ambition is still galloping thousands of miles;

Even in old age, the ambitious people will never stop working hard.

The length of human life is not determined solely by God;

Take good care of your body and mind, and you will surely live longer.

I am so lucky to express my thoughts and feelings through singing.
