A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood. What kind of mourners and happy ones are these? However, nature is often designed for mediocre people, using the flow of time to wash away the old traces, leaving only the pale red blood and a slight sadness. In this light red blood color and slight sadness, people can temporarily survive and maintain this world that seems human but not human. I don't know when this world will end!
(from Lu Xun's "In Memory of Mr. Liu Hezhen")
No matter how heavy iron shackles ring under my feet, no matter how high you raise the whip, I don't need any "confession". Even if the chest is facing a bloody bayonet! People cannot lower their noble heads. Only those who are afraid of death can beg for "freedom"; what can be achieved by poisoning and torture? Even death cannot make me speak! I laughed loudly in the face of death, and the devil's palace shook in the laughter; this is the "confession" of me, a Communist Party member. Singing triumphant songs buried the Chiang Dynasty.
