Desperate to stop thinking about James Zhang, he endured death and treated Dugan for a while. I smiled and looked into the sky from the horizontal knife and stayed on two Kunlun mountains!
The last two sentences of this poem have always been interpreted in many ways. To sum up, they are as follows:
1 think that "two Kunlun mountains" refer to Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao who escaped but didn't go to die. I died generously, fearlessly and without regret, because I left the "two Kunlun Mountains" (Kangliang) to continue my neglected career.
It is considered that "Two Kunlun Mountains" refer to Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and Wu Wang, with the same meaning. This statement is mostly based on folklore, too legendary and not very credible. Legend has it that Wang Wu, the great warrior's sword, sneaked into prison to save Tan, but Tan refused to escape. When leaving, Tan gave this poem to Wang Wu. )
It is believed that "two Kunlun mountains" do not refer to people, but Kunlun mountains are Kunlun mountains. "Go, stay in the two Kunlun Mountains" means to stand upright like Kunlun Mountains, and "go" has no substantive meaning, which is similar to the usage of "go" in "think about it". Some people interpret it as: (I) stand upright like Kunlun, regardless of whether I stay or not, and my spirit will last forever.
I think the third statement is more appropriate.

On June 1898, 1 1 day, Emperor Guangxu issued the imperial edict of "Ding Mingshi Kingdom" and announced the political reform. On September 2 1898 and 2 1 day, Empress Dowager Cixi staged a coup, imprisoned Emperor Guangxu, and began to search for and slaughter reformists. At that time, Tan Sitong refused the suggestion that others wanted him to escape (Kang Youwei fled to Hong Kong via Shanghai, Liang Qichao fled to Japan via Tianjin), determined to die, and was willing to warn the people with his life. He said: "The political reform in every country is caused by bloodshed. Today, China has not shed blood because of political reform, and this country is not prosperous. If so, please start from the beginning. "
