Revolutionary Poems of Jinggangshan - Mao Zedong

Moon in Xijiang·Jinggangshan

Autumn of 1928

The flags at the foot of the mountain are in sight, and the drums and horns are heard at the top of the mountain. . Thousands of enemy troops surrounded me, but I remained unmoved.

The barriers were already fortified and became even more united. There was a loud sound of artillery in Huangyangjie, reporting that the enemy troops were escaping at night.

Shui Tiao Ge Tou·Going back to Jinggangshan

In May of 1965,

Having had a long-standing ambition, he went back to Jinggangshan. After traveling thousands of miles to find the old place, the old appearance has changed into a new one. There are singing and dancing birds everywhere, gurgling water, and the high road reaches the clouds. After crossing Huangyangjie, there is no need to look at dangerous places.

The wind and thunder are shaking, the flags are flying, it is the world. Thirty-eight years have passed in a blink of an eye. You can go up to the nine heavens to catch the moon, you can go down to the five oceans to catch turtles, and you can talk and laugh and return in triumph. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb.

Niannujiao·Jinggangshan

May 1965

Towering trees, thousands of miles away, flying up to the strange mountains in the south. When I returned to my old place, I saw more buildings and pavilions. In front of the Wujing Monument, on Huangyangjie, cars are flying like leaps. The country is picturesque, and the clouds and sea were green in ancient times.

In the blink of an eye, the world has changed for thirty-eight years, as if the world has been overturned. I still remember that in the flames of war, my narrow escape was just like yesterday. Unique pride, the bright moon hangs in the sky, and the wind and thunder are majestic.
