The original text is as follows:
I lost my pride, Yang Jun lost her willow, and the willow was light and straight. Asked what WU GANG had, WU GANG held out osmanthus wine.
Lonely Chang 'e has wide sleeves, and Wan Li dances for the loyal soul. Suddenly came the news that the world had been dormant, and tears flew down and poured down.
Vernacular translation:
I lost my beloved wife Yang Kaihui, and you lost your husband Liu Zhixun. The heroic souls of Liu Yang and Liu Yang slowly drifted into the deep sky. What's in the sky in Wugang? WU GANG holds out the osmanthus wine unique to the Moon Palace.
The lonely Chang 'e also smiled, stretched her wide sleeves and danced for the martyr's loyal soul in the blue sky of Wan Li. Suddenly, I heard the good news from the mortal world. The loyal souls of the two martyrs shed tears, and the world felt it, and it rained cats and dogs.
Creation background
This was written by the author to Li Shuyi, a Chinese teacher at Changsha Middle School in Hunan at that time. "Liu" refers to her husband Liu Zhixun (1898- 1832), a martyr, a native of Changsha, Hunan, and an early comrade-in-arms of the author. 1924 joined the China * * * production party, served as a member of the Hunan provincial government and secretary-general of the Hunan peasant association, and participated in the Nanchang Uprising. 1930 worked in the revolutionary base area in western Hunan and Hubei, and served as the director of the political department of the Second Army Corps and the third Army Corps of the Red Army.
1In September, 932, during the "counter-revolution" in the Soviet area in western Hunan and Hubei, Liu Zhixun, the former director of the Political Department of the Red Second Army Corps, was shot as a "reorganization faction" in Hubei prison. Liu was killed by Xia, the "highest representative and secretary of the Central Party branch sent by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China". 1February, 957, Li Shuyi sent the author a poem "Bodhisattva Man" written in memory of Liu Zhixun, and the author wrote this poem to answer her.
