What is the most famous patriotic saying of Wen Tianxiang, the national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty?

Of course it’s the line from “Crossing the Lingding Ocean”: “Since ancient times, no one has ever died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history.”

This poem was written by Wen Tianxiang after he was captured to show his determination to die. This sentence is an unhesitating choice of the poet's fate in the hands of his enemy. This adds a tragic and passionate strength and confidence to the previous emotions and regrets, showing a unique sublime beauty. This is not only a reflection of the poet's personality charm, but also the unique spiritual beauty of the Chinese nation. Its touching qualities go far beyond the scope of language.
