No clouds.
Xia Wanchun [Ming Dynasty]
Three years as an anti-Qing soldier, defeated and imprisoned.
Infinite mountains and rivers shed tears, who said that heaven and earth are wide? ("Works of Mountains and Rivers: Mountains and Rivers")
I already know the way to another spring, and I am really worried when I think of saying goodbye to my hometown.
On the day when the ghost man and soul are waiting to return, the spirit wants to see their homeland.

After three years of fighting with Qing soldiers, he was defeated and captured today and became a prisoner.
Mountains and rivers are broken, sad tears keep flowing, and the land is deserted. Who can say that the world is wide?
I already know that life is coming to an end, and it is really difficult to say goodbye to my hometown.
When my soul returns, I must watch the team of successors resist the Qing army in the air.
This poem is the author's farewell to his hometown. I began to write about my hard wandering life, expressing my grief over the loss of my homeland and the broken mountains and rivers, and instead expressed my deep affection for my homeland and love for my loved ones, and vowed to restore my ambition. It not only expresses the unyielding determination to die, but also expresses the infinite attachment and deep sigh for the hometown that is about to leave forever. The whole poem is fluent and clear, and the feelings are ups and downs. The style is generous and heroic, which makes people sad to read.
