From Guo Moruo's "Man Jiang Hong·New Year's Day 1963".

Original text:

The true qualities of a hero are revealed only when the sea is flowing.

With 600 million people, strengthen unity and adhere to principles.

If the sky collapses, you can hold it up, and you can hold it up straight.

Listen to the rooster singing all over the world, the east is white.

When the sun rises, the iceberg drops; if the real gold is there, how can it be sold?

There are four volumes of heroic articles, which serve the people well.

The Jie dogs barked and Yao stopped laughing, and there was no news of the mud cow entering the sea.

Welcome the east wind and the revolution displays the red flag, and the world is red.
