From Mao Zedong's "Seven Laws and Winter Clouds", the original text is:
Like cotton fluff, winter clouds are tightly pressed by snow; Now all the flowers have fallen, and few people are still in bloom for a while. The sky is high and the cold current is urgent, and the earth is slightly warm.
Unique heroes drive tigers and leopards, no heroes are afraid of bears. Even plum blossoms welcome snowflakes all over the sky. No wonder flies freeze to death down there.
Translation:
Heavy snow pressed the winter clouds, snowflakes danced, and all colors faded at once. A rapid cold current rolled up in the sky, and the earth blew out a slight warmth.
Only lonely heroes are killing tigers and leopards, and great heroes are never afraid of bears. It is not surprising that heavy snow makes plum blossoms happy and freezes flies.

Creative background:
1in the winter of 962, China experienced a severe famine for three years. There are anti-China clamors abroad. On the surface, it seems to be in a difficult period, and it is officially in the middle of winter. It is not surprising that the weak can't stand this severe test. Real revolutionaries are more energetic and fighting spirit. Therefore, Mao Zedong wrote this poem on the birthday of 1962.
Theme appreciation:
This poem successfully uses the artistic techniques of metaphor, symbol and contrast. The lofty and aloof image of plum blossom in China's classical culture has been transformed into the infinite magnificent feelings of revolutionary romanticism.
The poet described the heavy snow with white catkins, winter clouds and flowers symbolized the sinister international environment, heroes and heroes symbolized the people of China represented by fearless poets, tigers and leopards symbolized powerful international anti-China forces, and Plum Blossoms symbolized the Chinese nation, which was more indomitable after suffering, and flies.
At the same time, the sinister environment is compared with the strong will of the lyric hero, and the weak and insignificant "fly" is compared with the "plum blossom" standing proudly in the snow, so that the expression effect is effectively strengthened.
